Public bug reported:
In raring, lightdm successfully passed environment variables
(specifically $USER and $HOME) relating to the user logging in to a
session-startup-script specified in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.
In saucy, the session-startup-script gets a very cut down environment,
with $HOME = / and $USER blank.
This means you can't do things like mounting home directories on login,
or anything that depends on knowing which user is logging in.
