2 users got changed sessions

when i booted up, today, i found that one of my users, named "pdh" had reverted back to unity.  this was odd.  so i went to check the files in /var/lib/AccountsService/users and found that 11 users had "Xsession=xubuntu" removed and one of those 11 also had the background image changed.  other users had not been changed.  so i fixed these and put "Xsession=xubuntu" back in.

then i rebooted.

this time, user "admin" was switched from unity (which i still need to have it use until i have time to convert my setup system to xfce) to xfce.  so i wondered if had accidentally put "Xsession=xubuntu" in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/admin.  i checked, and found that i had not.  so i logged out hoping i could find a way to select unity at the login screen.  i still could not so i just logged back in to "admin".  this time, it reverted back to unity.  but /var/lib/AccountsService/users/admin is not changed.

any ideas what is going on?

it seems lightdm has some AI ... Artificial Idiocy ... going on.
