[LightDM] lighttpd fails to start xfce4

[Robert Ancell]

Hi Branko,

The log snippet you've given shows two things:
1. ConsoleKit is giving an error when activating the session - but this is
probably not a problem since it's indicating the session is already active.
Perhaps you have both ConsoleKit and logind installed?
2. The greeter you are running has actually crashed with a segmentation
fault. You might find something in the greeter log (probably
/var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log but the lightdm.log will indicate where it
logged to).

In short - find out why the greeter is crashing and that will probably
indicate what the problem is.
