I don't follow the reason for closing this... It seems like maybe you're
thinking I said this bug is all wrong, but it's not.  The point is that
instead of *sourcing* $HOME/.xsession, the Xsession system script should
*exec* it if it exists, completely bypassing the rest of the system
Xsession script.  The debian manual I linked to actually describes that
behavior.  The point is, Ubuntu appears to ignore it entirely.

Title:
  lightdm does not source .xsession

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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.
