I suspect something else is going on. The version of lightdm that you
have installed (1.10.1-0ubuntu1) was released on 2014-05-11
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm). You can see the changes
that the update included here
95488/lightdm_1.10.0-0ubuntu3_1.10.1-0ubuntu1.diff.gz -- which didn't
modify any ubuntustudio configuration files.
The apport-included information says you're using XFCE -- do they
perhaps use a different greeter? Your message also includes a mention of
ubuntustudio -- do they use a different greeter?
Thanks

Title:
Manual login disappeared after update of lightdm / greeter
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Manual login screen stopped appearing, apparently after update to
lightdm-gtk-greeter.
Instead of requiring a password as per usual, the system logged-in
automatically.
This is a security risk to anybody for whom it is vital that password
log-in is maintained at all times.
The update to lightdm-gtk-greeter occured on 26 August. I have
attached logs to show subsequent refs to lightdm.
A fix was provided here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/451950/how-to-
configure-lightdm-to-allow-manual-logins-in-ubuntu-14-04
It seems the update removed the line from
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntustudio.conf that governs whether
manual login runs or not.
Is this sort of oversight a common failure for updates related to user
security? How are we to trust it is not?
