Bug Description

Here are the default list of sessions in Ubuntu:
Last
System Default Session
GNOME
Failsafe GNOME
Failsafe Terminal

Instead of having a session called "Last", could GDM just select the last
session by default?
And instead of having a session called System Default Session, couldn't the
default session be trailed with "System Default" in parenthases? Or is noting
that this is the system default really neccessary at all? Does it really matter
what the system default is?

The session list could much more descriptively be consolidated to:

* GNOME (System Default)
...
other WMs properly punctuated
...
Failsafe GNOME
Failsafe Terminal
