Bug Description

the selected xsession is not reset, if "Guest Session" is selected as user.

this is a problem in the following scenario:
- default xsession is something intuitive ore self-documenting like mate or kde
- technical user A logs in, uses dwm or i3, logs out again.
- the greeter shows A as preselected user
- untechnichal guest selects "Guest Session", doesn't mind the tiny missing icon in the rtop right corner
- finds himself unable to use the computer or log out again
