Reply for #16:
I just upgraded two days ago directly from 11.04 to 11.11 via online update. I never had lightdm on this machine before. Thus the problem exists is in the current version.

AFAIKT the patch repairs the bug but does not fix the root cause, right?
(Never mind, just for the sake of completeness. Main thing is that the
problem is fixed.)

My bug 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/878515 
seems to be a dupe of this one.

Only the user which made the upgrade was affected. The other users work.

I will try to change ownership/authorizations of ~/.Xauthority this
evening.

When will this patch be available for system actualization? When the status of Oneiric changes from "In Progress" to "Fix Committed"?

  .Xauthority sometimes owned by root, which blocks login

Bug description:
  Each time I upgrade to a newer ubuntu on a particular machine, something breaks. Last time I was unable to log in via GDM and I have to reinstall the machine. This time, I upgraded to oneiric today, and, of course, lightdm cannot start unity nor unity-2d: after entering a correct password it just restarts itself.
