Title:
  Lightdm does not use /etc/skel when authenticating against Active
  Directory in KUbuntu

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When authenticating against an Active Directory using PowerBroker open
  (former likewise) and lightdm, /etc/skel is not copied in KUbuntu, but
  there is no problen in Ubuntu, even following the same steps.

  This is happening in KUbuntu, but not in Ubuntu, so I suppose the bug
  is due to some configuration files in it.

  Steps to reproduce:

  * Install KUbuntu

  * Install samba, cifs-utils, smbclient, ssh

  * Install PowerBroker open

  * Edit "/etc/samba/smb.conf" to match your domain (workgroup =
  yourdomain) and restart samba

  * Join the domain:
       sudo domainjoin-cli join fqdn.domain administrator@fqdm.domain
       sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config AssumeDefaultDomain true
       sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config UserDomainPrefix domain
       sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config LoginShellTemplate /bin/bash

  * Edit /usr/share/pam-configs/pbis and change:
       sufficient     pam_lsass.so
     to:
      [success=ok default=ignore]     pam_lsass.so

  * Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change:
      hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
    to:
      hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4

  * sudo /opt/pbis/bin/lwsm restart lwio

  * Create the file /usr/share/pam-configs/my_mkhomedir:
  			Name: activate mkhomedir
  			Default: yes
  			Priority: 900
  			Session-Type: Additional
  			Session:
  					required                        pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 skel=/etc/skel

  * sudo pam-auth-update

  * Edit the lightdm greeter config to allow manual login:
      - In Ubuntu: 50-unity-greeter.conf
      - In KUbuntu: 40-lightdm-kde-greeter.conf
  			allow-guest=false
  			user-session=kde-plasma
  			greeter-show-remote-login=false
  			greeter-show-manual-login=true

  * If using KUbuntu, edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter.conf (not needed in Ubuntu)
      [greeter]
      theme-name=classic

  * Create some contents in /etc/skel

  * Reboot

  * Login with an AD user.

  If Ubuntu is used, /etc/skel files are copied to the user profile for
  the domain users, whether GUI or console login is used. If the distro
  is KUbuntu, the files are copied for console logins, but not with GUI.
