This is done when the ISO image is generated (see e.g. CONF-stretch-usbstick.sh for the BD ISO image). So no way to change it now. In Oslo we discussed about what should be the default desktop (being MATE at that time); iirc we decided to keep KDE as default but to recommend LXDE for LTSP clients. On the mailing lists there was feedback (also after the Stretch release) that LXDE was well suited for LTSP.
