> Yves-Alexis, what is wrong with accountsservice? It's a freedesktop
prokject with desktop specific depends. Not that lightdm fallbacks to
standard methods and don't hard depends on it
Well, the problem is that AccountsService is not really suited for
network logins since it stores the session and language selection to
/var/lib/AccountsService/users which is a local directory whereas saving
it to ${HOME}/.dmrc makes the settings available on any login computer.
Currently, lightdm is completely broken when it comes to loading the
last session on a network, even with version 1.4.0. It simply doesn't
work.
Honestly, it's frustrating that many upstream developers of desktop
components like the display manager always seem to completely ignore
everything which goes beyond single-user or single-machine systems.
Cheers,
Adrian

Title:
Login doesn't remember the last desktop session
Status in Light Display Manager:
Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I log into Oneiric and choose the Ubuntu 2D desktop. Then I reboot
and go to log in again, but lightdm doesn't remember that I chose
Ubuntu 2D last time, so by default it will log me in with the default
Ubuntu desktop.
