I would suspect that, yes, LightDM is crashing.  I plan to open a bug 
report, but I have other projects to deal with at the moment, then I 
will investigate deeper before filing a bug.

It is happening to me on two different PCs.  In my case, on bootup, 
LightDM crashes just before the Greeter is supposed to come up and I am 
staring at a blank (black) screen.

I am running in 2 different versions of openSUSE.

I switched the Display Manager to KDM, and the problem has vanished.

Both PCs are running Intel GPUs, so that is a common factor and might be 
involved in the problem.
