[LightDM] .dmrc and default session

[Robert Ancell]

Hi John,

The options with the current code are:
- Migrating all the .dmrc scripts
- Patching LightDM (we had a similar issue for Unity 2d [1])

It does seem like logical behaviour that the greeter would only allow you
to select a valid session - could you file a bug against Unity Greeter for
this [1]? Or are you using another greeter? Is this ocurring when using the
user list or manual login or both?
