This appears to be due to a race using the D-Bus method org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.GetSessionByPID instead of getting the environment variable XDG_SESSION_ID as set in PAM. This bug was detected by a bug in LightDM 1.11.7 where the daemon would attempt to read both a logind and ConsoleKit ID when this D-Bus call failed. The solution is to use the XDG_SESSION_ID environment variable and not GetSessionByPID() and to fix the passing of the session id(s) from the session to the daemon to be unambiguous. [Test Case] Check the LightDM log always contains lines like: [+0.78s] DEBUG: Activating login1 session c1 for each session. [Regression Potential] Change is non-trivial and could cause other bugs. Regression tests confirm existing test cases work.
