Title:
  lightdm doesn't call bashrc

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. 12.04.3 LTS
  2.

  lightdm:
    Installed: 1.2.3-0ubuntu2.3
    Candidate: 1.2.3-0ubuntu2.3

  3. The expected behavior is that .bashrc is called on login on desktop
  if the user's shell is bash. Please standardize and specify
  documentation with regards to the expected workflow for initializing
  an environment and executing .bashrc on desktop login.

  4. What occurs is that lightdm-session is called with sh (dash
  presumably) and the provided .bashrc are not called because ligthdm-
  session is non-bash non-interactive shell.

  It was addressed here, but there is no explanation specific as to the
  logic of this behavior and the contemplation regarding it is perhaps
  inadequate as it was not immediately apparent to the responders what
  was happening though it should be quite obvious as environment
  initialization is quite important:
