unity-greeter has code to kill upstart, but for some reason this isn't
being executed. My best guess is that unity-greeter often (if not
always) dies before it exits the GTK main loop. Does it receive a second
SIGTERM, or a SIGPIPE? (When lightdm says "Stopping display server, no
sessions require it", I would think.) This should be testable.

Amending my earlier comment #7, I do see "Got a SIGTERM" some of the
time, but I hardly ever see "Cleaning up" (when unlocking; new logins
are another story). Indeed upstart is not to blame: it shuts itself off
cleanly when signalled; the problem seems to be that unity-greeter
doesn't send out that signal as it is supposed to.

Title:
  lightdm sessions started by dm-tool lock (or a session locker) never
  get closed

Status in Light Display Manager:
  New
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  dm-tool lock starts a new lightdm greeter (for unlocking) and a new
  logind session. After unlocking the greeter disappears, but the logind
  session never closes. loginctl session status c24 reports something
  like:

  c24 - lightdm (103)

                    └─7907 init --user --startup-event indicator-services-start

  This results in an accumulation of stale lightdm sessions after using
  e.g. a session locker for a while.

  I get this issue on a freshly installed and fully updated Xubuntu
  14.04.
