I'm fairly certain I didn't log out and in. (Maybe I did after the first occurrence, but I recall doing this several times in succession.)
I doubt it was lightdm: I reported this on Maverick (10.10). According to this link [1], lightdm became default in 11.10. I don't tend to run alphas or nondefault core software. I also do clean installs for each upgrade and haven't noticed this issue recently (on precise). (Although, I only noticed before because I ran out of disk space.)
