James, can you clarify the purpose of these signals?  desktop-session-
start seems quite straightforward (i.e. just as a user is logging in)
but I'm not sure what the point of login-session-start is?  Does it mean
"the display manager has started", or "the display manager is ready" or
"the login screen is now ready for user input".

Also, should these signals have any context?  You can have multiple
seats/sessions running at once.

Title:
  lightdm does not emit well-known upstart events

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Incomplete
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As an analog to bug #706842 and bug #715093, lightdm needs to emit two
  "well-known" upstart events as gdm does:

  1) login-session-start
  2) desktop-session-start

  Event (1) should be emitted just prior to the display manager starting
  whilst event (2) should be emitted when a user logs in (manually or
  auto-login).

  Additionally, the upstart config file /etc/init/lightdm.conf should
  list these two events as being emitted by lightdm.

  For the list of "well-known" events that will be included in natty as
  a new manual page, see:
