** Description changed:

- Lightdm crashes on startup for me, on Ubuntu 14.10.
+ [Impact]
+ Having the same configuration variable defined in two places causes LightDM 
to a double free and potentially crash.
  
- This is the offending error:
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Install two configuration files in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d which both 
define the same variable.
+ 2. Run LightDM
+ Expected result:
+ LightDM runs correctly.
+ Observed result:
+ LightDM double frees a variable (seen with valgrind) and can crash.
  
- *** Error in `lightdm': double free or corruption (fasttop): 
0x0000000002535ca0 ***
- Aborted
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low. The fix is not to double free the variable.
