[LightDM] Setting default X session

[Robert Ancell]

Hi Sergey,

Sorry for the very late reply.  The configuration should be (in
version 0.9.0 which is about to be released):

[SeatDefaults]
user-session=<session name>

I notice there isn't an override for autologin-session, could you file
a bug if you need that?

Thanks,
--Robert
