GDM forgets last session

Hi,

on one of my two Arch installations (which have a very similar setup), I encounter a problem with GDM. Sometimes after booting the system, GDM does not remember that Cinnamon is my default session and starts Gnome3 instead. When I logout, start Cinnamon, and logout again, the session is correctly selected in GDM.

The file /var/lib/AccountsService/users/myusername gets correctly updated. Using .dmrc to set a default session does not work, GDM seems to ignore this file.

Does anyone know what causes this?
