SessionMenuButton on greeter ignores new user session setting

[id:sicklylife]

It seems that SessionMenuButton of js/gdm/loginDialog.js couldn't detect new account settings.

gnome-shell greeeter menu ignores new user session setting and login as previous session selection.

How to reproduce:

1. Existing user (userA) login as "Ubuntu on Xorg"
2. Create new account (userB) from Settings application
3. Check new account select default session
   $ grep XSession /var/lib/AccountsService/users/userB
   XSession=
4. Logout exisiting user (userA)
5. Select userB on GDM
6. Check session selection

Expected result:
* Mark "Ubuntu" session
* Login userB as Wayland session
* Result of "echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" should be "wayland"

Actual result:
* Mark "Ubuntu on Xorg"
* Login userB as Wayland session
* Result of "echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" is "wayland"

Ubuntu 17.10 で Ubuntu on Xorg が選択されているのに Wayland でログインされる

再現方法

1.) 既存のユーザーのログイン画面で Ubuntu on Xorg を選択してログイン
2.) ログインしたユーザーで gnome control center を起動し、ユーザーを新規作成
3.) ログアウトし、ログイン画面で新規ユーザーをクリック
4.) 歯車ボタンをクリックすると自動的に Ubuntu on Xorg が選択されているので、そのままログイン
5.) コマンドを実行して X と Wayland のどちらが動いているか確認

$ loginctl show-session 11 -p Type
Type=wayland

ログイン画面で勝手に Ubuntu on Xorg が選択されているものの、実際には Wayland が動作しているようです。
