No. In case of lightdm the situation seems to be a bit different. I'm using XDM which uses an old-style variant of loading a graphical environment. XDM just executes /etc/X11/Xsession script that aims to start your window manager. In order to do it, it loads different files From user's home directory. One of them is "~/.xsession". But lightdm uses the system of profiles that it calls (also) "sessions". If you want to use my solution with lightdm display manager, you should add a new profile which will execute /etc/X11/Xsession script. It will be some kind of this: ---------- /usr/share/xsessions/user-defined.desktop ---------- [Desktop Entry] Name=user defined session Exec=/etc/X11/Xsession ---------------------------------------------------------------
