You do not believe how often I read this log, but never saw this ...

You are right, my /etc/environment indeed began with "TH=...".
I do not remember, that I ever edited that file (I am using ~/.bashrc for PATH instead).
I really won't hope I caused the trouble opening this file with vi - probably sometimes - thereby killing the first two chars? I am really not shure.

After changing it to

    PATH="/usr/local/sbin: [...]"

logging out an in again (in the console) I could "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" and START IT.
Problem solved - as far a I am concerned. Thank you very much Sebastien.

As far, as this bug is concerned, the original issue of this bug - according to the initial log - should be fixed by installing the lightdm-gtk-greeter package.
