Ok

Please especially send the .xsession-errors log (check for personal
information first though). /etc/X11/Xsession sources various files from
/etc/X11/Xsession.d and the session selection (if not selected in the
greeter) should be done from
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup

Sorry but it's not at all clear what you mean here: are you using the
*default* session, or are you choosing a session in the greeter and it's
not actually selected? In the lightdm log you sent, you were using the
default session.

I don't think so, again it doesn't look like a but in the greeter.
