Is there a workaround to run a lightdm script? The one in the docs doesn't work. Anything placed there will prevent X from working.
The script I would like to use is my KVM utility synergy. I thought for a while it was synergy that was causing the problems. However, I found that anytime there is a lightdm.conf file with anything on that line X will fail to load.
Example:
greeter-setup-script=/etc/lightdm/test.sh
The text.sh file is simply a shell command to indicate it ran:
test.sh:
#!/bin/bash
date >> /tmp/test.log
Thanks in advance for anyone who has any input, or as I mentioned a workaround so that I could have a resource that will run upon X startup before the user actually logs in.

During the past week I saw this problem many times doing my research and effort to fix it. It turns out that any entries placed in a "lightdm.conf" file for Ubuntu 13.10 will break lightdm.
There is an entry in the lightdm.conf.d provided for this. I added my KVM script to:
This works!
