No way to select session when loggind in using 'Other'

[Christoph Egger]

If my account is listed in lightdm screen and I use that option, selecting the session type (e.g. xmonad) wworks as expected. If logging in as 'Other' -> type username -> type password and I select session type when entering the username, it's back to default once I get to the password screen. Selecting here a non-system-default session will not take any effect.

So for correct functioning
a) the user selection made when entering the username needs to be preserved (or the session type selection disabled there)
b) the session selected in the password entering stage needs to actually take effect
c) If I use the 'entering username' way of login, my last selection should be preserved
