Comment 3 for bug 1722427

Thanks for your report.

I can reproduce this sometimes on Unity with LightDM and the Fcitx packages for Simplified Chinese. When it happens, ~/.xsession-errors looks like the attached file.

The explanation is a temporary file in /etc/profile.d for configuring input methods (see bug #1720250). LightDM checks for errors when sourcing that file, and apparently the launch of Fcitx results in messages written to STDERR (sometimes...). I have submitted a LightDM merge proposal to disable that error check for now.

@Iain: Can you please look at this. I suppose that there is no LightDM release planned before release, so we should probably make an Ubuntu only upload with this one change.
