[SOLVED] LXDM not saving selected session,Default session doesn't work

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to use LXDM to start my desktop. However, every single time I log in, I have to tell it to use XFCE as my session.
Even if I choose it manually, after logout/login it just resets to "Default session" (which doesn't work: just drops back to LXDM).
I looked everywhere in my home directory and not found any place where it stores the session.
Any ideas? lxdm 0.4.1-8, xfce 4.8, x86-64 Arch Linux.
Thanks.

It's the default, except that I enabled autologin (which doesn't work due to the problem I describe in my post).
[base]
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
autologin=renan
## uncomment and set timeout to enable timeout autologin,
## the value should >=5
# timeout=10
## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config
# session=/usr/bin/startlxde
## uncomment and set to set numlock on your keyboard
# numlock=0
## set this if you don't want to put xauth file at ~/.Xauthority
# xauth_path=/tmp
## greeter used to welcome the user
greeter=/usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk
[server]
## arg used to start xserver, not fully function
# arg=/usr/bin/X -background vt1
[display]
## gtk theme used by greeter
