Public bug reported: lightdm (and gdm too) ignores the session selection of ldap users on the first login after booting the pc. Instead of starting gnome-shell (for instance), the default session unitiy is started. After a logout end re-login again, gnome-shell works. But the reboot of the pc results in ignoring user selections again. Furthermore, no ldap user is listed by lightdm after a fresh start.
