## Log: soon

Thanks @smcv for your feedback.

I believe ubuntu-bug used to automatically attach a number of log files
automatically, it appears it did not this time.

Bug happens several times a week. I have captured a log.

## Workaround!

I wanted to test if running another X session would work.

One session type available in lightdm greeter is "xterm". So I chose
that.

Session opens okay and shows xterm.  So, X itself is not affected.

I then typed "startxfce4" in the xterm.

* xfce session started quickly but something was different in the appearance, 
as if the screen DPI was slightly changed.  
* xfce4-terminal showed slightly different font.  Still "Envy Code R", but 
different rendering, off-grid. Checking in xfce4-appearance-settings, font 
hinting parameter was turned off, which was not the usual settings.  Setting it 
back using xfce4-appearance-settings got usual font back in xfce4-terminal.
* thunderbird shows slightly bigger fonts than usual. I cannot compensate this 
exactly with xfce4-appearance-settings.

dbus-daemon now runs for the user.

# Conclusion

(1) affected user can still run XFCE, but through a xterm session first.
(2) changing title, because affected user *can* run an X session, just not XFCE 
session from regular lightdm.


** Summary changed:

- Unlocking existing session yields black screen. Closing session does not help 
as affected user cannot open a successful X session until next reboot. Other 
users are ok.
+ Unlocking existing session yields black screen. Closing then reopening XFCE 
session shows dbus error, xterm session can run startxfce4. Other users are ok.

** Summary changed:

- Unlocking existing session yields black screen. Closing then reopening XFCE 
session shows dbus error, xterm session can run startxfce4. Other users are ok.
+ Unlocking existing session yields black screen. Closing then reopening XFCE 
session fails with dbus error. xterm X session + startxfce4 works. Other users 
are ok.
