I think that there a truckload of lines in these logs.
How can I grep the right ones?

I can log in from su, and I opened a session with another user. Xnest and Xephyr are OK but without login manager.
The only thing that is not OK is logging in using the Change user button from xfce4-panel. This stucks lightdm after having entered the password.
I did not try from another login manager even if I also installed wdm (but it’s not wdm that comes with I try to change the user).
