LightDM here, but I'm doing this with the Xsession script itself.

---------------------------8<---------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

info() {
	printf "Xsession: $*\n" >&2
}

info "hello!"
info "running from -- $0"

info "sourcing profiles:"
for file in "/etc/profile" "$HOME/.profile" "/etc/xprofile" "$HOME/.xprofile"; do
	if [[ -f "$file" ]]; then
		info "\t$file"
		source "$file"
	fi
done

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/dbus/user_bus_socket
info "exported DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"

info "goodbye! starting systemd"
exec systemd --user

info "error running systemd"

This is actually $HOME/.Xsession. I have a more general system-wide
/etc/lightdm/Xsession, for users not on systemd --user yet. The first thing it
does is check for $HOME/.Xsession and exec it if available.

Everything is done through systemd units except launching gnome-keyring-daemon
which is done through pam and Xorg which is already launched by the display manager.

Here's my /etc/pam.d/lightdm
