Are you using this file? It is for sysvinit, not the upstart file (/etc/init/lightdm.conf). It is however incorrect as you have pointed out.

Robert, Not normally using the sysvinit file, but I rebooted and got no greeter at all and went about trying to find out why and noticed this. I have a greeter by editing this script, and will learn later if something else I did makes it return.
