New question #404009 on LightDM GTK+ Greeter:
https://answers.launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+question/404009

I have a new install of Fedora 24 with the Mate desktop  1.16.1 with ligthdm-gtk  1.8.5-20fc24.
I can login to the desktop as root but when I try to login to my user account it just returns to the greeter.  In /var/log/lightdm/x-1-greeter.log I found this. "* (process:5124): WARNING *: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

* (lightdm-gtk-greeter:5100): WARNING *: Failed to load user image: Failed to open file '/home/eric/.face': Permission denied".
I've got the user image setting turned off, and am using only one seat. 
Yes I know this is a Ubuntu forum but after many hours of searching this is the only place that offers any help with lightdm, so I'm hoping you can help out.  The reference manual I did find might have been some help if I was a C++ programmer but I'm not.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
