Hmm, as 1.13.0-0ubuntu1 just showed up in vivid, it broke my login in
the follow way.  Note that I always try devel channel updates in a VM
with a snapshotted disk so I'm able to revert and do some further
investigating.  Looking at the dist-upgrade packages, I suspect the
lightdm changes are affecting me, but I'm going to continue to
investigate.

So, when I log in, I do get several warnings in a dialog.  Most are
because I use `source` instead of `.` to source other shell files.  What
shell is lightdm using these days?  Still, even with the warnings, I can
log in just fine.

Anyway, when I change them all to `.` I still get one warning about my
use of shopt, but I'll just ignore that for now.  However, logins are
now completely broken.  I see the screen blank and then I'm thrown back
to the login screen.  ~/.xsession-errors is empty and I can find no
other log file either in $HOME or /var/log that contains any information
about what's going wrong.

I'm going to pin lightdm and dist-upgrade everything else just to verify
that the lightdm update is causing my problems.  How can I debug the
login crash after I fix my login scripts?
