Motivation for this change

Some display managers (e.g. SDDM) set the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable accroding to this parameter.
If this variable is not defined, there will be some problems (e.g. MATE doesn't have icons on the desktop).

Fixes #71427

Good catch. We should probably also check whether the downstream session names match the upstream ones.
