Package: lightdm
Version: 1.0.11-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I just switched from KDM and to lightdm, and had to notice that ~/bin was
dropped from my PATH. The reason is that KDM sources ~/.profile on login, but
lightdm obviously does not.
This was also reported, and fixed, in Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/794315

Kind regards,
Ralf

Still no.

That's actually not my area of responsibility though.

The .xsessionrc path has already been documented 12 years ago.
