Makes sense. As previously raised by mterry it can't be done without putting the name in the xsession file [1] but his proposal makes sense.

This is currently causing screen locking issues. This used to get set by gnome-session, but it is no longer high enough in the process tree to set it for the complete user session. Consensus in #ubuntu-desktop was that lightdm should be setting it.
