Bug Description

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
$ apt-cache policy gdm
gdm:
  Installed: 3.0.4-0ubuntu15.3
  Candidate: 3.0.4-0ubuntu15.3
  Version table:
 *** 3.0.4-0ubuntu15.3 0
        500 http://mirror.yandex.ru/ubuntu/ precise-updates/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen?
I tried to login through gdm to LXDE.
I entered username, password, session type and pressed login button.
I expected LXDE session start.

4) What happened instead?
I tried to login through gdm to LXDE.
I entered username, password, session type and pressed login button.
gdm dissapeared, then gdm restarted.
No LXDE session started.

5) Then I created /usr/share/xsessions/MyLubuntu.desktop with content:
[Desktop Entry]
# The names/descriptions should really be better
Name=MyLubuntu
Comment=Lubuntu - Lightweight X11 desktop environment based on LXDE
Comment[zh_TW]=Lubuntu - 輕量級的 X11 桌面環境
Comment[fi]=Lubuntu - kevyt X11-työpöytäympäristö
Comment[ja]=Lubuntu - 軽量な X11 デスクトップ環境
Exec=/usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE
# Icon=
Type=Application

6) Then I can login through gdm to MyLubuntu, which start binary /usr/bin/lxsession directly.

7) But I can't login when gdm try to start script /usr/bin/startlubuntu

8) Also I tried to comment in /usr/bin/startlubuntu everything exept
exec /usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE

9) But it does not not help.

10) $ apt-cache policy lxsession
lxsession:
  Installed: 0.4.6.1+git20120214-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.4.6.1+git20120214-0ubuntu1

11) Package for /usr/bin/startlubuntu and /usr/share/xsessions/Lubuntu.desktop :
$ apt-cache policy lubuntu-default-settings
lubuntu-default-settings:
