Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in to the desktop.
2. Log out again. (But don't reboot or anything like that.)
3. Log in again.
4. Start a guest session.
Result: Depends on Xorg server in use. With intel driver, the guest Xorg
session fails to start up with a DRM permission error (see attached
Xorg.1.log). With virtualbox, and possibly AMD proprietary driver, the
Xorg session on :1 appears to fight the one on :0 for control of the
framebuffer - windows from both desktops get drawn over each other,
causing a big mess.
The login/logout step is important: if you log in to the desktop
immediately after the lightdm session has been started or restarted
("sudo service lightdm restart"), then the :1 session will start
correctly.
(This problem can also be reproduced in another way: some desktops, when
locking the display, create a new greeter instance on :1. This will also
fail if the user has logged out and logged in again. For example,
Xubuntu does this.)
