I had the same problem since the lightdm update but my symptom was more
disrupting : my Unity session was switched to english instead of my
default setting (french).

Using patch in comment #3 works for me.

I think this bug should get a high priority.

Title:
  $PATH does not contain /usr/games - /etc/environment not sourced or
  environment not preserved

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is similar to #798277, however is a new problem. Please continue
  reading.

  Problem appears in lightdm 1.2.3-0ubuntu2.
  Downgrading to 1.2.3-0ubuntu1 resolves the problem.
  Upgrading to 1.2.3-0ubuntu2 again causes the problem to reappear.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Login via lightdm
  2. Open a terminal.
  3. Run "echo $PATH"

  Expected result: the path contains the folder /usr/games like on earlier 
releases of Ubuntu.
  Actual result: PATH does not include /usr/games

  In addition, this causes PATH to not be set correctly after sudo. For
  instance, /usr/sbin is not in path after sudo. Once again, downgrading
  lightdm resolves the problem.
