[Bug 1343800] [NEW] upstart 1.12.1-0ubuntu4.1 breaks xsession start with lightdm

[Joseph Yasi]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to upstart 1.12.1-0ubuntu4.1, logging in via lightdm
freezes on xsession start. The choice of xsession doesn't matter. It
will not load KDE or TWM. It freezes after pressing login without trying
to start the xsession.

startx from the commandline launches the xsession properly.

lightdm works again after reverting to upstart 1.12.1-0ubuntu4.
