You do not believe how often I read this log, but never saw this ...

You are right, my /etc/environment indeed began with "TH=...".
I do not remember, that I ever edited that file (I am using ~/.bashrc for PATH instead).
I really won't hope I caused the trouble opening this file with vi - probably sometimes - thereby killing the first two chars? I am really not shure.

After changing it to

    PATH="/usr/local/sbin: [...]"

logging out an in again (in the console) I could "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" and START IT. 
Problem solved - as far a I am concerned. Thank you very much Sebastien.

As far, as this bug is concerned, the original issue of this bug -
according to the initial log -  should be fixed by installing the
lightdm-gtk-greeter package.

Title:
  After latest upgrade of oneiric, Lightdm or Xserver not working

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  New
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It seems that, after last upgrade of Oneiric made one hour ago, either Xserver or lightdm doesn't work anymore.
  Before the login screen Ubuntu prints out some state messages. The last one is "Checking battery state" (mine it is not a portable PC)
  I have to press Alt+F1, I logged in and wrote "startx". Gnome3 says "Failed to load session "gnome-fallback"" (my pc doesn't support neither Gnome-shell nor Unity3D) and pressing the only button Log Out terminal compares again.
  Is it possible to rollback last upgrade of Lightdm?
