Re: Proof - How to drop downn to shell upon startup
Check if there is a .dmrc file in your home folder and edit it - there was a change a few versions back, maybe related to this.
And there was a bug that the 'default' session didn't start. I circumvented it by editing the /usr/share/xsessions/lightdm-xsession.desktop file and changing Exec=default to Exec=startxfce4 -- the default seat is now stored in ~/.dmrc. My recommendation for tinkerers is: if not really needed, simply purge lightdm and use no DM at all, instead kick into x with startx/xinit .
