Just as a heads up: Restoring session still does not work in lightdm.
And, as for all arguments that speak for accounts-service-daemon, the
fact remains that switching from .dmrc to a-s-d broke session save and
restore for many corporate users.

It's super easy to reproduce if you have two computers on a network with
a shared home directory:

- user A logs in to machine "host001", chooses MATE and en_US.UTF-8 as their 
defaults
- user A logs out
- user A logs into machine "host002" and neither MATE or en_US.UTF-8 are 
restored as settings but some random settings which depend on who previously 
logged into the machine and what user A's settings were last time logging in to 
"host002"

All of this worked fine previously when using ~/.dmrc and is still
broken after switching to a-s-d. This really needs to be fixed and if
the concept of a-s-d is supposed to be kept, then a-s-d should be able
to store it's database settings across different host with the same
shared home directory.
