Bug#648220: After upgrade to gdm3 session selection defaults to "system default"

[Marcus Comstedt]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Followup-For: Bug #648220

Dear Maintainer,

I'm also affected by this problem, and have observed the following:

If you click on a face in the face browser, then the correct session
for that user is selected.  However, if you type the username manually
(either because you have disabled the face browser, or because you
 click on "Other"), then it does not work and you always get "system
default".  This used to work in old gdm.
