Marked as High, not being able to log in after upgrade seems bad.
(Although this might be a greeter bug rather than lightdm itself?).

We had a couple of people on #ubuntu+1 yesterday hitting this.

One way to distinguish this from a post-login crash is that if the users delete 
their .xsession-errors, and then try logging in again
the .xsession-errors isn't recreated.

I think there needs to be some logic along the line of:
  If the last session no longer exists then select the 1st available session 
type.

The people who were talking about this on +1 yesterday didn't see the icon to 
click on to select the other session (I'm not sure
if this was because there was only one installed session, or because the icon 
is normally an icon representing the currently selected session, and since that 
doesn't exist it doesn't have anything to show).

** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High
