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..
ya, thats what I used to use, but I would have preferred if it was actually like CDE as it was intended.
