I've saved the log here: http://mbriza.fedorapeople.org/lightdm.log-stuck  
. The error about CK locking doesn't really matter - the session is locked  
by systemd.
For comparison, I've also added the log with SwitchToGreeter:  
http://mbriza.fedorapeople.org/lightdm.log-works .
 From the difference, it looks to me like LightDM doesn't notice activating  
VT1 and when it is released, doesn't spawn a greeter on its place as it  
wasn't treated as active.

I know but I'm not sure I'm ready to write anything absolutely related to  
the issue before I've investigated the whole of it. But I have registered  
and will post a link to this discussion in the the thread.

Best regards,
