I have the same problem. I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and now I can't log on with my user. It doesn't matter if I choose "Ubuntu", "Ubuntu 2d" or "XFCE". Screen turns black for a second and returns to log on screen.
Other users still work though. I attached ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/lightdm/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870052 Title: User cannot login with lightdm.
