I was not aware of 2., and do appreciate all volunteer efforts. It
is just that this irritating bug (and it should be classified a bug,
correct?) has been around for the life of over two releases. According
to BZ, the workaround (which did not work for me and the rest) should
have been enough.
A bug is if something does not work as advertised. Do you think the
behavior meets this description?

Why is it not a bug?
See above.
This was not an issue till the very end of F15,
when it suddenly became one.
Why not provide this info in bugzilla? Nobody has ever mentioned this
before.
This tells me that the problem is a bug
and was inadvertently introduced, perhaps as a part of an enhancement,
no?
No.
Anyway, replacing LXDM with SLiM took care of the problem. (It is
good
to know that the locus of the problem is in the DM, and is in LightDM.)
This does not make sense. According to the bug it should be in the
startlxde script and not in the DM. That would indicate something is
wrong with the PAM configuration or that the DM doesn't source all
startup scripts.
Can you please follow the instructions from the first comment of the bug
report and post your findings in bugzilla?
I wonder if SLiM is a better alternative than LightDM for LXDM. What
is
the memory footprint of the three?
Why not test yourself?
