Title:
  lightdm forgets to source /etc/profile and ~/.profile

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lightdm package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lightdm

  /etc/gdm/Xsession had this code:
    # First read /etc/profile and .profile
    test -f /etc/profile && . /etc/profile
    test -f "$HOME/.profile" && . "$HOME/.profile"
    # Second read /etc/xprofile and .xprofile for X specific setup
    test -f /etc/xprofile && . /etc/xprofile
    test -f "$HOME/.xprofile" && . "$HOME/.xprofile"
  so that, for example, ~/bin gets added to the path (by the default ~/.profile), and any user-customized environment setup gets run.

  After switching from gdm to lightdm, this no longer happens.  This is
  going to be a regression now that lightdm is becoming the default
  display manager.
