Comment 2 for bug 1396824

Hi Robert,
any update on this? I know this is kind of old, but I think this is still useful for some users.

I'm figuring out an issue, there are rare cases when my Linux devices have an Xorg crash (occurs once in a month), and lightdm does not autologin back again. The user do not know the login password, not even can type it on screen... I'm looking for a resilient dm, which goes back to normal when I do `pkill -9 Xorg`.

In any way, Lightdm should not care about Xorg repeated crashes: Xorg crash => lightdm => Xorg crash => Xorg crash etc... Lightdm should fail, then systemd should restart it. The restart protection mechanism is handled by systemd, if too many restarts occurs, then the service will be stopped.

What do you think?
