Do you have any other lightdm-related packages installed?  It's likely
not important for this issue, but I'm just trying to determine how closely
your config matches mine.

Ok.  If you do something like

 	ps -ef | egrep -i lightdm

what all shows up as running?  Again, I'm just trying to determine how
closely your system matches mine.

Are there other log files created in /var/log/lightdm ?  For example,
x-0.log or seat0-greeter.log ?

It's been a long time since I've had to debug anything with lightdm,
so I'm afraid I don't have any magic suggestions.  I would probably look
at the documentation for lightdm.conf and see if there's a switch
that increases log verbosity for the process.
