[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#802125: lightdm: Don't see gnome-shell in the drop-down menu box in lightdm-greeter

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.16.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I have installed gnome-shell .

$ apt-cache policy gnome-shell
gnome-shell:
  Installed: 3.18.0-1
  Candidate: 3.18.0-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.18.0-1 100
        100 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.16.3-2+b1 990
        990 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages

But when logging in via the lightdm-greeter it doesn't show
gnome-shell in the upper-right drop-down box (which shows
gnome-flashback (metacity) among other different
desktop-environments).
