How to remove session entries from LightDM?

I recently added Cairo Dock to my GNOME Shell in 11.10. Cairo Dock is GREAT, but I'm left with one little problem that I'd like to fix: after installing Cairo Dock, LightDM includes two extraneous entries to non-working desktops. (The entries to working desktops remain unaffected, so I guess I could just ignore the extraneous entries, but...)

So I'd like to remove/edit the extraneous entries in LightDM. I've looked and looked for discussions on how to do so, but haven't had much luck.

Any suggestions on how to go about editing the login menu in 11.10?

The list of sessions is defined by the .desktop files in the folder /usr/share/xsessions

Lets remove GNOME Classic

In a terminal:

cd /usr/share/xsessions

sudo mv gnome-classic.desktop gnome-classic.desktop.backup

This renames the gnome-classic desktop file

Logout - the new list of sessions will look like:
