When I pressed the Escape button on Login screen, LightDM zombie process is created in the state of defunct. I used "top" application to view the number of zombie process. The more I press the Escape button in Login screen the more LightDM zombie process is created.
I think this bug is similar to the following Bug #962932.

I change LightDM with GDM version 3.0.4 and the zombie are gone.
