What's the content of your "/var/lib/AccountsService/users/your_username" 
file? And what's the output of "ls -la /usr/share/xsessions"?

And what's the problem now, a) that you cannot select the session from 
the dropdown menu because is not visible, b) that while you select your 
session type you are logged into GNOME or c) that the last selected 
session is not kept for the next login? :-)

Also, try to create a fresh new user and check if it works from there.
