+ Impact: 
+ zombie are created on failed login
+ 
+ Test Case:
+ - try to log in with lightdm but press escape or type a wrong password

+ ---
+ 
  When I pressed the Escape button on Login screen, LightDM zombie process
  is created in the state of defunct. I used "top" application to view the
  number of zombie process. The more I press the Escape button in Login
  screen the more LightDM zombie process is created.
  
  I think this bug is similar to the following Bug #962932.
  
  Date of observe bug: 2012-04-27
  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  
  I change LightDM with GDM version 3.0.4 and the zombie are gone.
