So, our patch (working in the past) didn't work anymore, it was changing
the ubuntu-2d to ubuntu session. See
debian/patches/01_transition_ubuntu2d_ubuntu_desktop.patch
This code is still called and the exchange is done, However, it seems
that now that lightdm moved to account services, the value is somewhat
overriden.
I tried various g_debug() and replacing the value in different place,
without any luck (I put high hopes in src/accounts.c TBH as it was
referencing XSession, but the g_debug shows that the code isn't even
called). TryExec which used to work on the past isn't read anymore as
well :(
I attach the patch with different places I tried to patch it and start
to be frightened about autologin and other similar case. All of them
were covered by the old patch. Mike, as you know better the code than
me, can you have a look at this? Thanks!

Bug description:
After an upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10, I was no more able to login with
my usual account.
Lightdm failed to load x session.
After a long search, I understood that the problem was coming from ubuntu-2d
xsession.
My user account was configured to use unbuntu-2d when i was in ubuntu 12.04.
But as this xsession has been removed in ubuntu 12.10, lightdm failed to load
it.
I managed to fix my problem doing following steps :
- edit my user file with gedit in this folder :
/var/lib/AccountsService/users
- replace "XSession=ubuntu-2d" by "XSession=ubuntu"
- reboot ubuntu for the file modification to be taken in account.
In my opinion, this fix should be applied automatically for all users using
ubuntu-2d and upgrading their distribution.
