[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#730228: lightdm: Network Manager refuses to work

[brian m. carlson]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.8.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: breaks unrelated packages on the system

When I log in using lightdm 1.8.5-1, I no longer have privileges to
manipulate Network Manager.  Since I use Wi-Fi with my credentials in my
personal keyring, this means that I have no network access.  Also, the
XFCE Log Out screen does not provide me the opportunity to restart or
shut down the computer.  Downgrading to 1.6.3-1 restores all of this
functionality.

I am using systemd and XFCE along with Network Manager, in case that
matters.

Note: The below information is for 1.6.3, since I have downgraded.
