Bug Description
dm-tool lock starts a new lightdm greeter (for unlocking) and a new logind session. After unlocking the greeter disappears, but the logind session never closes. loginctl session status c24 reports something like:
c24 - lightdm (103)

Display: :1
Service: lightdm-greeter; type x11; class greeter
State: closing
CGroup: systemd:
This results in an accumulation of stale lightdm sessions after using e.g. a session locker for a while.
I get this issue on a freshly installed and fully updated Xubuntu 14.04.

According to Robert Ancell (https:/ /answers. launchpad. net/lightdm/ +question/ 250693) the lightdm upstart user-session should clean up after itself; therefor I'm linking this issue to upstart.
