I don't want to do that: I dislike gnome or kde and do not want to introduce a lot of dependancies.... I solved the problem but I am still wondering why this issue hapenned: lightdm uses accountservice and for other users there is file /var/lib/AccountsService/users/user-name which seems to has been created by adduser when their account was created. Why, for this particular user this file was not created, I don't know! I deleted and recreated the account but this file was not created and I had to do it manually.... This file is very simple and contains: [User] Language=fr_FR.utf8 XSession=xfce SystemAccount=false That's all! Now, if anybody has a clue, I will have better nights!
