This is incredibly annoying, if you leave your computer permanently on
sessions mount up each time you lock your screen, eventually sessions
pile up to the point where you notice your computer running very slowly.

This bug has been there since Xubuntu 14.04 was released.

Most people do not notice this issue because they switch their computers
off or do not lock their screens.

Title:
  lightdm sessions started by dm-tool lock (or a session locker) never
  get closed

Status in Light Display Manager:
  New
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  dm-tool lock starts a new lightdm greeter (for unlocking) and a new
  logind session. After unlocking the greeter disappears, but the logind
  session never closes. loginctl session status c24 reports something
  like:

  c24 - lightdm (103)

           Service: lightdm-greeter; type x11; class greeter
             State: closing
            CGroup: systemd:/user/103.user/c24.session
                    └─7907 init --user --startup-event indicator-services-start

  This results in an accumulation of stale lightdm sessions after using
  e.g. a session locker for a while.

  I get this issue on a freshly installed and fully updated Xubuntu
  14.04.
