You're probably already aware of that, but this will require "special care" from gdm/lightdm/$dm if your session relies on the xdg base dir spec for its default config (with the 60x11-common_xdg_path script in x11-common), with /etc/xdg/xdg-default instead of the expected /etc/xdg/xdg-${dereferenced_symlink_name}...

(Anyway, we don't have a guest session in xubuntu, so we'll still need to ship a custom lightdm.conf to disable it.)
