[Bug 1468834] Re: lightdm does not source .xsession

 

To me it looks like lightdm does the right thing in /usr/sbin/lightdm-
session.

According to the files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d, which belong to
x11-common, the intended behavior seems to be to not source ~/.xsession.
Which standard protocol are you referring to? Are you possibly mixing it
up with ~/.xsessionrc, which is sourced by lightdm if it exists?

** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu)

Title:
  lightdm does not source .xsession

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There is a decades-old standard protocol for starting up a user's X
  session, which requires display managers to source the user's
  ~/.xsession file.  lightdm fails to do this.  See also Bug #1468832.
