I've done some tests and looks like you are wrong. :-)
First, i see the behaviour reported in this bug on two PC, with many
similarities:
* i386 architecture
* regularly updated Debian unstable
* Xfce and Mate installed
* lightdm-gtk-greeter
On one of these PC (the one which this bug comes from), some days ago
i've work arounded with:
update-alternatives --display x-session-manager
On the other i've done what you requested.
First from snapshot.debian.org i've downloaded
"lightdm_1.10.2-2_i386.deb" and "lightdm_1.10.2-3_i386.deb".
Downgrading lightdm to 1.10.2-2 restore the previous behaviour and
i've tested following these steps:
* systemctl restart lightdm
* login changing from default to mate session
* logout
* systemctl restart lightdm
Now if i insert the same username and password in the loginbox, then
go to session dropdown menu, i still see "mate".
Upgrading to 1.10.2-3 and repeating the steps above, after the last
restart of lightdm i see the default session restored.
And in this situation here is my .dmrc after login with Mate:
----------------
[Desktop]
Session=mate
Language=it_IT.utf8
Layout=it
----------------
Note that if i simply logout (without rebooting or restarting
lightdm), my choice is retained.
Thank you for looking into this.
Cesare.
