The configured session is stored in a d-bus service called AccountsService.

You can change this by:
$ gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.Accounts --object-path /org/freedesktop/Accounts --method org.freedesktop.Accounts.FindUserByName your-username
(objectpath '/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000',)
$ gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.Accounts --object-path /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000 --method org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetXSession your-session

Or editing /var/lib/AccountsService/users/bob (you probably have to restart accounts service / your machine to take effect).
