[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#679409: Bug#679409: lightdm: Fails to start on boot, invoke-rc.d lightdm start fails

[James Tocknell]

Lightdm works for the earlier versions.

I don't know enough about the init system to know where the problem
would lie, but what I do know is that dependency based booting is now
required for the broken versions. I've also looked though all log
files that I know of, and I can't find anything related with lightdm.
