I think it will default to the last session logged in.  Try to login with
the session you want selected.  Then the next autologin it should start
that selected session. You might want to play with the autologin-session
option in the lightdm.conf file.

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=username
autologin-user-timeout=0autologin-session=lightdm-autologinuser-session=Xsession
greeter-session=unity-greeter


Is there a reason why you are using a "custom session"?  Mine was because
my frontend isn't a fast machine, so I used the Xsession to only start
mythfrontend and fluxbox wm bypassing the cruft that comes with unity2d.

If your machine is fast enough, just let it start unity2d and then have
that autostart mythfrontend.
