Unfortunately, you can't configure the default user-session with GDM like lightdm. I've opened a feature request [0] but I'd like to be able to do this now. We use a GObject Python script using bindings to AccountsService to achieve this. I'm hoping the reliable heuristic for session names is the file's basename. We also have some special logic for which method to use to set the default session. It seems set_x_session is deprecated, and thusly the XSession key, but if that method isn't used when it's an xsession it won't be the default in GDM.
