Public bug reported:

Hi,

My laptop was newly installed with 13.04 amd64 ubuntu CD. It was
working. Since I like KDE I installed kubuntu-desktop and got debfoster
to help me remove the packages I no longer needed.

After this change the lightdm looked odd (and still unity-like, not
kubuntu like) and logging in did not work. It did accept my password and
the screen blinked but then I was back in lightdm.  It was possible to
log in with my account on a tty. I tried several times.

After purging all lightdm packages and then reinstalling kubuntu-desktop
I got a kubuntu styled lightdm that worked to log in with.

I'm not sure that the lightdm logs that were present on my system when I
ran "ubuntu-bug" shows this situation.
