[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#639984: [lightdm] restart/reload fails

[Slavko]

Package: lightdm
Version: 0.9.2-3
Severity: normal

While testing LightDM under virtual environment (VirtualBox) i was not able
to restart the LightDM, while it tries to start Xephyr, which is missing.
After installing Xephyr it fails with unknown option -novtswitch. 

The invoke-rc.d does report nothing:

invoke-rc.d lightdm restart
Stopping Light Display Manager: lightdm.
Starting Light Display Manager: lightdm.

The lightdm process is running after restart (with new PID):

ps -Af | grep light
root      2328     1  0 12:34 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lightdm

(no X and no lightdm greeter), but nothing is running after reload.

The VT remains on the VT7 (default). After machine reboot, the lightdm
greeter appears again.

All logs attached, with the "normal-" prefix are the logs from system start
(first start of the lightdm) and with "restart-" prefix are logs from
restart (without xephyr installed) and finally with "reload-" prefix is
after trying reload the config.

Please, can someone confirm it in real environment?
