I just upgraded two days ago directly from 11.04 to 11.11 via online update. I never had lightdm on this machine before. Thus the problem exists is in the current version.
AFAIKT the patch repairs the bug but does not fix the root cause, right? (Never mind, just for the sake of completeness. Main thing is that the problem is fixed.)

seems to be a dupe of this one.
Only the user which made the upgrade was affected. The other users work.
I will try to change ownership/ authorizations of ~/.Xauthority this evening.

When will this patch be available for system actualization? When the status of Oneiric changes from "In Progress" to "Fix Committed"?
