Automatic Login fails reproducibly if autologin-user-timeout is set to something other than 0 (zero).

If not timeout is set, LightDM creates an "user session" after starting a seat. See the following comment for this log file.

With a delay set a "greeter session" is created, see the attached log file. Then after the delay the internal authorization for the auto-login-user seems to be successful. And that was it, nothing happens any more.

System is a brand new Lubuntu 14.04.2 installation. My /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf is:
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=family
autologin-user-timeout=4
autologin-session=lightdm-autologin
user-session=Lubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
