But it is necessary to know about lightdm.  It was only through working
through reporting the bug that I stumbled on lightdm being a problem. 
Perhaps next time I will try stopping something that I see keeps looping
starting and crashing...

I had wanted to attend the meeting today, but I forgot all about it when
finally working more on this bug.  Would have been interesting to join
in for the first time.  But more valuable that I identified something
wrong and what fixes it.

And no pony for me.  Never did like Ford cars!  :)
    (my automotive days I worked at AMC then Chrysler)

Thanks for pushing this bug fix through.  I will test an image once I
see the new version in the repo.
