That bug seems to mix several issues, I'm not sure the .Xauthority has
to do with the bug and is not just a red herring or a different bug, I
can confirm the "hang after validating the password on "logging in..."
though, it happens after a log out trying to log in a second time here

Title:
unable to log in - hangs on 'logging in' msg
Status in Light Display Manager:
New
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
On my laptop I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04, 3 or 4 weeks ago.
Recently I had trouble logging in - I'd type in my password but it
would hang on the 'logging in...' message you get after pressing
enter. After rebooting a few times I was able to log in.
Now, rebooting isn't helping, I'm unable to log in at all. I stay at
the 'logging in...' message until I shut down.
