[Bug 932598] Re: Full hard drive causes xorg and lightdm to fail to load

[Martin Pitt]

Robert, there is currently no special code to handle
/var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority, it's handled by the same code as for any
other user session. Would it be possible to make a special case there,
so that the greeter uses /run/lightdm/.Xauthority, and every other user
session uses ~/.Xauthority, as usual?

If not, we could think about shipping a /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority  ->
/run/lightdm/.Xauthority symlink.

In either case, either lightdm itself or the upstart job needs to create
/run/lightdm/ at startup with the right permissions.
