Bug Description
There is a decades-old standard protocol for starting up a user's X session, which requires display managers to source the user's ~/.xsession file. lightdm fails to do this. See also Bug #1468832.

To me it looks like lightdm does the right thing in /usr/sbin/ lightdm- session.
According to the files in /etc/X11/ Xsession. d, which belong to x11-common, the intended behavior seems to be to not source ~/.xsession. Which standard protocol are you referring to? Are you possibly mixing it up with ~/.xsessionrc, which is sourced by lightdm if it exists?
