I know that the available sessions for sddm are kept in
/usr/share/xsessions and /usr/share/wayland-sessions
What I can't find, and don't recall, is where does sddm get the information on
which session a user
last used.
It doesn't seem to be in a user's directory. So, where is it?

Thanks. However, it seems that unlike what gdm does sdm can only recall the last session
used. While
gdm recalls the last session on a per-user basic.
When using sddm in a multiple user and multiple DE environment this cases a bit of
aggravation if a
user forgets to check the selected DE before logging in.
Any thoughts about getting sddm to keep per-user DE history?

There's certainly been much complaining about it upstream for a number
of years (for example, https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/510,
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/346,
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/481) but it's actually a somewhat
difficult problem. There's no guarantee that you can even access the
user home directory until later in the login process.
So you end up with a per-machine default, or a per-user, per-machine
default. Neither works for me, so I still sadly run KDM. I honestly
wish it could just delegate reading and changing the default to a pair
of scripts which run in the right contexts, and then let me choose how
to handle that.

I've been meaning to help implement support for AccountService...
Unfortunately, haven't had a lot of free time to do so.

It's OK. The number of users here with this "issue" are few. When they
gripe I tell them "This has been like
this a long time, you've still not gotten used to it?". :-) :-)
