Public bug reported:
I am using LightDM 1.0.6-0ubuntu1.2 on Oneiric.
I would like to pass the "-logdir /path/to/file" option to the X server.
In the old days, I would edit a file like /etc/X11/Xserver and add the
option in there. LightDM, however, constructs the X server invocation in
C code, specifically in src/xserver-local.c (search for "nolisten" and
you'll be in the thick of it).
Many of the arguments passed to the X server relate to LightDM
configuration parameters, so I'm not taking issue with the server
options in C code. (In theory, this could prevent LightDM from
supporting non-X.org X servers, but I don't think that's likely to be of
much interest to anyone.) However, I would like there to be an
additional LightDM config parameter that allows me to specify arbitrary
options to tack on to the server invocation, as that would handily
address my needs and otherwise serve as a good catch-all.
