Bug Description
After upgrading to upstart 1.12.1-0ubuntu4.1, logging in via lightdm freezes on xsession start. The choice of xsession doesn't matter. It will not load KDE or TWM. It freezes after pressing login without trying to start the xsession.
startx from the commandline launches the xsession properly.
lightdm works again after reverting to upstart 1.12.1-0ubuntu4.

Same problem here on Kubuntu 14.04. After login, there is no splash screen and nothing happens. You can move the mouse cursor around, but that is it.
To downgrade from terminal use:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall upstart=
