I’m not sure about this yet. The manual says that the default “greeter”
(UI for logging in) can be themed using “gnome-settings-daemon”. I’d
like something more fun, too, but it is low on the priorities list right
now. :)

Like I said before, this is broken. Looking at screenshots on the Web,
there’s supposed to be a little gear icon that shows up beside the “Sign
In” button. We have a problem with GNOME right now where some buttons
are invisible but still work (e.g., the calendar month changing
buttons). The session switching button is not just invisible, though.
Clicking where it should be doesn’t do anything. So far, I have no
leads, but I haven’t spent much time on it yet.
Thanks for testing!

On Ubuntu there are these files:
:~$ ls /usr/share/xsessions/
gnome-classic.desktop ubuntu-communitheme-snap.desktop
gnome.desktop ubuntu.desktop
gnome-xorg.desktop xfce.desktop
and
~$ ls /usr/share/wayland-sessions/
gnome.desktop
ubuntu-communitheme-snap-wayland.desktop
ubuntu-wayland.desktop
These are the sessions that the greeter proposes
For example, the contents of /usr/share/xsessions/ubuntu.desktop are
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Ubuntu
Comment=This session logs you into Ubuntu
Exec=env GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu gnome-session --$
TryExec=gnome-shell
Type=Application
DesktopNames=ubuntu:GNOME
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-session-3.0
and the contents of /usr/share/wayland-sessions/gnome.desktop are
[Desktop Entry]
Name=GNOME
Comment=This session logs you into GNOME
Exec=gnome-session --session=gnome
TryExec=gnome-shell
Type=Application
DesktopNames=GNOME
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-session-3.0
