You are right of course. But, I am not sure if it is important,
because this config file is a part of lightdm package:

dpkg -S /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf
lightdm: /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf

Then, from user point of view, its parsing is provided by the lightdm.
Anyway, the name of this dot file points to the Xsession ;-)

More exactly, the path of ~/.xsessionrc is set in the /etc/X11/Xsession:

USERXSESSIONRC=$HOME/.xsessionrc

and used only from /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc:

grep -H XSESSIONRC /etc/X11/Xsession.d/*
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc:if [ -r "$USERXSESSIONRC" ]; then
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc:  . "$USERXSESSIONRC"

Anyone can add own file in the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ dir to parse
any file at start of Xsession. But i don't know if this is intended/good
idea. IMHO better is remain on the ~/.xsessionrc file and if particular
user want/need, he can add reading (sourcing) another file from here:

if [ -r $HOME/some_file ]; then
   . $HOME/some_file
fi

Re: lightdm (1.8.5-2 and -3) didn't run .profile .xinitrc ..... etc

[spp mg]

Sorry, I retest my system. I think lighdm did run .xsession   .
but I don't understand why it can't source profile?

I write this in my .xsessionrc

if ! [ "$SPPMG_PROFILE" == "y" ] ; then
export SPPMG_TEST="y"
source ~/.profile
fi
expert SPPMG_RUN="xsessionrc"

the SPPMG_PROFILE set in .profile , so if sourced .profile ,
"$SPPMG_PROFILE" == "y"

In kdm , I get  SPPMG_PROFILE ,  SPPMG_RUN and setting in ~/.profile

in lightdm , I get SPPMG_TEST , SPPMG_RUN, but didn't source ~/.profile.

Look like kdm will run .profile first, and lightdm will not , but I don't
understand  why I can't get effect in "source ~/.profile " . Maybe because
"bash variable scope" .

So maybe it's not bug, just my mistake.  :)

Thinks your help.

for me too, but AFAIK, this is via Xsession. See:

  /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf

Is it somewhere standardized? If yes, then be free to fill bugreport.
If not, then different behavior is not a bug.

Be me knowledge the:

+ ~/.xsession is for Xsession customization (man xsession)
+ ~/.profile is for console logins (i am not sure now if local only or
  remote too)
+ ~/.xinitrc is for xinit (man xinit)
+ purpose of the ~/.xprofile is unknown for me, it is not
  sourced/executed in my system

The LightDM sources the ~/.xsessionrc file (for me).

lightdm (1.8.5-2 and -3) didn't run .profile .xinitrc ..... etc

Hi all.
I found a "problem" with lightdm , It will not run
~/.profile
~/.xprofile
~/.xinitrc
~/.xsession.
but kdm will run these script in same system . (even if ~/.proflie only)

Anyone get same result ? Is it a bug ?

I use the newest debian testing , and try to upgrade lightdm to sid,but
same problem.

Thinks all.
