Title:
  lightdm doesn't start due to misconfigured /etc/X11/default-display-
  manager

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 11.10 lightdm was installed and working correctly; gdm was
  then installed and also worked correctly.

  When gdm was removed, lightdm no longer started on boot, but could be
  started by typing "sudo start lightdm; exit" at the command prompt.

  This was fixed by editing /etc/X11/default-display-manager and
  changing its contents from "lightdm" to "/usr/sbin/lightdm".

  It appears that the installation/uninstallation of gdm does not
  restore this file correctly.
