Related to this could also be the problem that capabilities gained via pam_cap.so are dropped when logging in via lightm.
I haven't yet filed a seperate bug for this, and I think it won't be necessary if this is going to fix it. I'll see when this is changed.

Title:
  Run PAM code inside session process

Bug description:
  Currently PAM code is run inside the main lightdm daemon process.
  This means that buggy PAM modules can crash lightdm (see bug 829221).
  We should change the architecture to run the PAM code inside the
  session processes before launching the user session.
