    That's got to be a configuration issue or a bug. Once you set it, it
    should stay that way. The lack of response is either because no one
    else is having the problem or the message subject doesn't catch
    anyone's interest. Might try reposting it as "GDM does not remember
    session selection" or something like that. You could try another
    desktop and see if it's remembered on restart or not which might help
    narrow down the scope of the problem.


I bet hardly anyone even used LXDE, its a real shame, lean software like this is what we need more. Nothing remembers the session though..

you may have tried it already but xfce is also a great dm, lean and efficient
