Sounds like the xsession is dying. In typical fashion, errors will most
likely get logged to $HOME/.xsession-errors, but not shown to the user.

I not entirely sure how lightdm works, but try looking in
 $HOME/.xsession-errors after a dud login, and see if that helps.

Note this file will get overwritten if you login successfully, so you may
have to use use a text mode console, or login as another user then sudo to
root to access it.
