Just a heads up that now with the latest update auto-login is working properly and also we can choose the default session if we have more than one desktop environment/window manager installed. Just edit the 'user-session' entry in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf For Xfce: user-session=xfce
(also needed for auto-login to work, or instead one can link /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop to /usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop)
