What tool are you using to create the user account? xfce4-settings?

Title:
  'Unable to create session' when logging in to a newly created user

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Similar but not the same as 1056833.

  After creating a new user I was unable to login to her id from
  lightdm. I could login on a text console and then run startx.

  I think the problem is that /var/lib/AccountService/user/$user had
  Xsession=ubuntu instead of xfce. I do not have any Unity code on my
  machine.

  There is no option in the create-user dialogue to select a session
  type, not in the lightdm login screen.

  I will do some more testing and report back when I have finished this
  bug report.
