Attaching my .xsession-errors from a failed login attempt.

This happens to me maybe 1/10 times I try to log in. One thing that I've noticed consistently every time this failure has happened is that there is a slight glitch already at the moment I hit <enter> in lightdm: The screen flickers to my wallpaper and then back to the login screen where it hangs for ~5s until it changes back to my wallpaper and starts the login sequence; which then seems to fail miserably.

This could imply that there is an X11 or lightdm issue involved here, because the flicker between wallpaper and back to lightdm is at the instant I hit enter on the password, and I doubt we'd had time to do much (or maybe compiz exits immediately or and restarts something)....
