Thanks for the reply. If this is the mechanism then it must be indeed a bug.
dtlogin writes the file $HOME/.dt/sessions/lastsession correctly. But on subsequent logins it disregards it. I login to Mate. Check $HOME/.dt/sessions/lastsession and it says /etc/dt/config/Xsession.mate (without line termination) I logout. Recheck from console and the file says the same /etc/dt/config/Xsession.mate Login again and I get CDE. The file lastsession switches to /usr/dt/bin/Xsession So the bug is that after I insert the user name dtlogin does not pick up the last session from $HOME/.dt/sessions/lastsession A bug ticket should open for this.
