[Bug 823775] Re: Cannot login: could not update ICEauthority file .ICEauthority

 

We do wait to start the session until PAM authorizes us.  But it's true
that lightdm apparently likes to reach into the user's home directory
before PAM authorizes us.

I tested by forcing lightdm to treat "/tmp" as the user's home directory
and this problem went away.  So what I think is happening is that
lightdm opens a file in /home/user and that prevents the ecryptfs mount
from happening...
