This holds for Mageia 6 already. I found & reported it (PAD) in ISO testing then, but did not think it warranted a bug in the face of more important things.
Since the bug now exists, I am marking it M6TOO.
@Ben: I think the priority should be reduced to Low, and the severity to Minor; but do not want to tread on your toes over that.
In real life, who would use Gnome from LightDM? Just us QA explorers.

Assuming lightdm is the culprit here.

Thanks, it works.
M7b2 Classic ISO end Jan, x64 real hardwre, 6 desktops
Just updated it, noticed LightDM in the updates: lightdm-1.26.0-5.mga7
Changed to LightDM, re-booted, its desktop menu now shows for Gnome just:
 Gnome
 Gnome on Xorg
 Gnome Classic
Fixed for M7. Should we ignore M6 or wait for that too?

I can live without fixing mga6.

As we have all done for 2 years! I hope Ben will pardon me for closing this.
