Title:
  lightdm xauthority path is wrong

Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “apparmor” source package in Trusty:
  Triaged
Status in “apparmor” source package in Utopic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The default apparmor 'X' abstraction permits access to
  /{,var/}run/lightdm/authority/[0-9]*, ostensibly for the xauthority
  file.  Except on Trusty, that's not where the xauthority file is.  It
  is instead in /run/lightdm/$USER, and named "xauthority".   I have had
  to udpated my apparmor configuration, lest apparmor convince Evince of
  being a filthy script kiddie, out to corrupt my xauth file.

  Please consider adding the following to the 'X' abstraction:

  owner /{,var/}run/lightdm/*/xauthority r,
