[Bug 875437] [NEW] lightdm tries to use unknown -background option, crashes X

 

Public bug reported:

Didn't edit any files, just upgraded to Oneric through update-manager.

Lightdm seems to want to start X using the "-background" option which my X doesn't know. The /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log then contains X -help output.
Everything works when using GDM.
