The default session setting in GDM is per user. Therefore, it is not of much use to set it for the gdm user. (Nobody will log in as "gdm".) Unfortunately, there seems to be no systemwide setting for the default session, the AccountsService provides no such setting, and GDM just hardcodes the fallback to use if it is not set in the AccountsService. (GDM first tries "gnome", and if that is not available, it picks the first session in the alphabet.) Therefore, the best we can do right now is to set the default session for the autoLoginUser. This is the case where it matters the most anyway. We would also need the username of a non-autologin user in the global storage to do any better. |

Design notes
Calamares is currently split as follows:
- libcalamares - the backend library,
- only depends on QtCore, yaml-cpp, Python and Boost.Python,
- provides a job queue and generic jobs,
- comes with 3 job interfaces: C++, Python and process (the latter is very limited);
- libcalamaresui - the frontend library,
- same dependencies as libcalamares, plus QtWidgets and other Qt modules,
- comes with a module loading system, for different kinds of plugins,
- themeable so branding can be done easily (plugin-based, TBD),
- presents a bunch of pages in a scripted order, enqueues jobs in the backend library;
- calamares - the main executable,
- a thin wrapper around libcalamaresui, starts up and plugs together all the parts.
