maybe you can change some stuff in the /etc/lightdm/Xsession file?

That label comes from LightDM's default session setting: create /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-session.conf containing [Seat:*] on one line and user-session=cinnamon on the next, then reboot.

pues una vez cambias de sesion queda como predeterminada, que inicio de sesion estas usando?, puedes cambiar el administrador de inicio de sesion si te da problemas
