I have made a look at the log files but were wasn't something
interesting. But I have figured out why this bug happens. lxdm
0.4.0-0ubuntu1 installs a new version of /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf with the
entry "greeter=/usr/libexec/lxdm-greeter-gtk". But the file doesn't
exist on my system. I have replace the line with "greeter=/usr/lib/lxdm
/lxdm-greeter-gtk" (from lxdm 0.3.0) and now all is wotking fine.

I'm using a minimalistic system with no unnecessary packages. For
example I install all packages with --no-install-recommends. Maybe there
is a package in the dependencies missing. First I tried "dpkg -S lxdm-
greeter-gtk" and got:

lxdm: /usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk
lxdm: /usr/share/man/man1/lxdm-greeter-gtk.1.gz

Then I installed apt-file and updated the lists. "apt-file search lxdm-
greeter-gtk" has shown me:

lxdm: /usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk
lxdm: /usr/share/man/man1/lxdm-greeter-gtk.1.gz

I can't find any package with the file /usr/libexec/lxdm-greeter-gtk. A
solution is to change the path in /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf to the old one.
