I suspect something else is going on. The version of lightdm that you
have installed (1.10.1-0ubuntu1) was released on 2014-05-11
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm). You can see the changes
that the update included here
95488/lightdm_1.10.0-0ubuntu3_1.10.1-0ubuntu1.diff.gz -- which didn't
modify any ubuntustudio configuration files.

The apport-included information says you're using XFCE -- do they
perhaps use a different greeter? Your message also includes a mention of
ubuntustudio -- do they use a different greeter?

Thanks

Title:
  Manual login disappeared after update of lightdm / greeter

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Manual login screen stopped appearing, apparently after update to
  lightdm-gtk-greeter.

  Instead of requiring a password as per usual, the system logged-in
  automatically.

  This is a security risk to anybody for whom it is vital that password
  log-in is maintained at all times.

  The update to lightdm-gtk-greeter occured on 26 August. I have
  attached logs to show subsequent refs to lightdm.

  A fix was provided here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/451950/how-to-
  configure-lightdm-to-allow-manual-logins-in-ubuntu-14-04

  It seems the update removed the line from
  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntustudio.conf that governs whether
  manual login runs or not.

  Is this sort of oversight a common failure for updates related to user
  security? How are we to trust it is not?
