Title:
  lightdm/gdm needs to set $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Since the switch to upstart, some processes in the user environment,
  such as gnome-screensaver, now get launched without
  $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP being set. This is currently causing screen
  locking issues.

  This used to get set by gnome-session, but it is no longer high enough
  in the process tree to set it for the complete user session.

  Consensus in #ubuntu-desktop was that lightdm should be setting it.
