[Ben Shadwick <benshadwick@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm seeing the same issue as jyavenard in KODIbuntu (formerly XBMC) 14.0
and 14.1 (based on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS), which is using lightdm 1.10.3.

Specifically, if I set autologin-user-timeout to any value other than
zero, lightdm will never automatically log in.
