As I recall in F10 the file, /etc/sysconfig/desktop, was not installed
by default. Have you checked to see if the file exists? If not, create
the file with the following contents and file a bug report:
DESKTOP="LXDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER="GNOME"
those settings dont work, if I set PREFERRED=/usr/bin/lxde then it will as long as i'm in runlevel 3 and use startx. I see one of the reasons why it doesnt save the session is because i'm one of the ones that uses root to login, i'd like to find where GDM seems to get its session data from and add root in the list.
