[LightDM] user-session not working

[Robert Ancell]

(François replied to me directly with configuration).

The configuration looks correct. Yes, user-session works for picking the
default session. This is confirmed by regression tests and is working on my
Ubuntu system.

The next step is to check the greeter as that is what is ultimately telling
LightDM what session to use:
[+106.83s] DEBUG: Session pid=964: Greeter requests session gnome-classic

LightDM would have told the greeter that the default session is "mate" but
the greeter for some reason has picked "gnome-classic". Probably because
that's the last session that user logged into (stored in AccountsService or
~/.dmrc).
