It took me a while to trace the problem to this issue.
These errors pointed me in the wrong direction: (I provide them here for other
people, so this bug pops up in google)
Xorg.2.log:

Title:
lightdm-session fails if user's .profile has non-posix sh init.
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I don't actually mind the failure (its a feature!) The problem is that
if the user's .profile has non-posix sh in it (causing /usr/sbin
/lightdm-session to basically crash) there is no good presentation to
the user about this.
The user tries to login.
Lightdm tries to source their ~/.profile, and crashes if they have non-posix
sh in them.
lightdm simply restarts and drops the user back at the login screen.
There is no reporting to the user what happened, so they can fix the problem.
What is worse, is that the failsafe session doesn't work either.
