Description Corinna Vinschen 2015-11-14 15:45:12 UTC 
Description of problem:

  When upgrading sddm from 0.10.0-4 to 0.12.0-5, I noticed that, while
  my last user account was still present by default, my previous session
  setting ("Plasma") has been forgotten, and the session menu presented
  the first entry in the session menu ("MATE" in my case) again.  After
  setting this back to "Plasma", the setting was stable even over multiple
  logout and login.

  After that, downgrading to sddm-0.10.0-4, the same occured.  The session
  menu showed "MATE" again and I had to change this manually back to "Plasma".

  Rinse and repeat.

  So, while the sddm package update preserves the last logged in user
  account (no problem there), for some reason it misses to preserve
  the last session setting. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  Any?  During testing: 0.10.0-4 and 0.12.0-5.

How reproducible:

  Up- or downgrade the sddm package.

Actual results:

  Last session setting is forgotten on package update.

Expected results:

  Last session setting is preserved.


Thanks,
Corinna
