Title:
  Cannot login into ecrypts directories if not unmounted before

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When you log out, ~/.Xauthority still exists.  Subsequent logins via
  lightdm are impossible.  The screen flashes and then you're dumped
  back at the login screen.  You have to ssh into the machine (or use a
  virtual terminal) and remove ~/.Xauthority, then you can login again.

  I know I reported something similar before, but I can't find that bug
  now. :(
