@John I think you did miss a few things. Did you check how this bug was resolved? accountsservice (a-s) stores the last entered session type in both a-s and ~/.dmrc. As regards language, a-s stores languages and locales settings in both a-s and ~/.pam_environment. If you mount e.g. a USB with HOME, and ~/.dmrc and a-s respective ~/.pam_environment and a-s are out of sync, I think the current session and language are grabbed from a-s, so your students should know, after all.
So, to conclude, I'm not sure what it is you would write in that bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/823718 Title: Replace ~/.dmrc with AccountsService Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Bug description: While gdm has switched to AccountsService for storing the session type, lightdm stores that piece of info in ~/.dmrc. I suppose it would be a good idea that also lightdm makes use of AccountsService for the purpose, and drops ~/.dmrc entirely. That way would always the same option appear on the greeter if a user moves from gdm to lightdm or vice versa.
