On one PC (the one with 1.10.2-3), if i login with session xfce, here is
the content of the state file:
------------------
[greeter]
last-user=cesare
last-session=xfce
------------------
After logging out the content get this:
------------------
[greeter]
last-user=*other
last-session=xfce
------------------
After "systemctl restart lightdm":
------------------
[greeter]
last-user=*other
------------------
On the other PC (the one with the latest 1.10.3-2), if i login with
session mate, here is the content of the state file:
------------------
[greeter]
last-user=berni\leonardic
last-session=mate
------------------
The user name format is because the he is part of a samba domain.
After logging out the content get this:
------------------
[greeter]
last-user=*other
last-session=mate
------------------
After "systemctl restart lightdm":
------------------
greeter]
last-user=*other
------------------

Yes, the last-session row somehow get deleted: on lightdm shutdown or
on startup.

On both PC, .dmrc look always correct and updated every time.
Just discarded.
