I used to use lightdm for some time but from time to time I faced with very
*strange* message from various programs about connection to dbus (they
refered to /tmp/dbus-XXXXX, saying "Connection failed" or something like
that, but dbus is started by systemd and it's socket is in /run NOT in
/tmp). I tried to investigate this problem but without any success.

Moreover, I found some problem with how lightdm initialize session (I
don't remember details, though I filed a bug report for that) but AFAIU
it wasn't fixed. I switched to sddm and don't see any more any messages
about dbus in /tmp.
