uses desktop session by default on Lucid

[Steve Kowalik]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings

The current version of ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings installed on the live CD provides the desktop session by default.

Available fix for sponsoring:
casper (1.208) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin: Don't erase /etc/gdm/custom.conf but
    only append autologin on casper startup if needed. This avoids removing
    default session set in this file for ubuntu derivatives which use GDM.
    The script also check if the modification is already there for
    persistent usb keys. (LP: #498971)

After further investigation, the right /etc/gdm/custom.conf is present in the squashfs.

Unfortunately, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin is erasing /etc/gdm/custom.conf with autologin values and so, default session setting is gone away.
I'm trying to handle this more gracefully in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin.
