Yes.

It seems to be safe to use the session name found in the 
/usr/share/xsession directory (LXDE.desktop). Also, to hide the LDM 
session setting option it's more intuitive to use the 'true' value.

So please try these settings instead:

LDM_SESSION=LXDE
LDM_FORCE_SESSION=true

I'll update the manual if you can confirm these settings to work.
