Bug Description
versions:
Ubuntu 12.04, just updated
lightdm 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 Display Manager
Failed logins result in zombie lightdm processes. The example below shows the result of 6x failed login attempts. A successful login does not clear the zombies.
root 1703 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 12:02 0:00 [lightdm] <defunct>

This is probably related to:
#990661 many lightdm zombie process created while press many Escape button on Login screen
#993573 LightDM leaves zombie processess when switching users
But I wanted to file anyway since my repro steps are different.
