[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#855626: [lightdm] User selection GUI controls no longer come up, no longer able to log-in as anyone

[Sebastian Pipping]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.18.3-1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
lightdm stopped showing a list of users or any user selection GUI 
controls so to log-in to something graphical I had to switch to the root 
console, replace lightdm by lxdm and log-in.
It would be cool to get it back working: I actually liked lightdm.

Thanks and best, Sebastian
