Other than differences for date, time, and pid numbers, all of that matches
(even the tty) my most recent lightdm login on my workstation.

The messages above are also common to my working lightdm


This next message is not something I see, and it's something you should
definitely fix, to see if it's related:

> ** (process:1026): WARNING **: Error reading existing Xauthority: Failed to open file ?/home/apostolo/.Xauthority?: Permission denied
> Error writing X authority: Failed to open X authority /home/apostolo/.Xauthority: Permission denied

You can either fix permissions on it (it should be owned by you and have
your primary group, with mode 0600) or completely remove ~/.Xauthority

Once you've done that, log out and log back in and see if the messages
have changed.
