Public bug reported:

/usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop names the session "Xfce Session". In
Ubuntu 14.04 with lightdm's unity-greeter, the session chooser appears
as:

Select desktop environment
[icon] Fvwm
[icon] Openbox
[icon] Ubuntu
[icon] Xfce Session

I think it is more concise and consistent with other session names to
just show "Xfce" there, though perhaps its a matter of taste and perhaps
other display managers present the choice differently. I ran

grep ^Name=.*ession /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop

on one system and Xfce's was the only session file to use the "Session"
term. (On one system I had a mixture of gnome.desktop, gnome-
shell.desktop, ubuntu-2d.desktop, etc.) Running the same command on kde-
workspace-4.11.6/kdm/kfrontend/sessions/*.desktop yielded no results.
