Lightdm doesn't seem to set xauth up for the user, making ssh connection attempts to time out on xauth.

Actually it does set it up, now that I checked the value of $XAUTHORITY, but the file is locked:

pris 20:04 % xauth -v -b list
Attempting to break locks on authority file /var/run/lightdm/authority/2
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /var/run/lightdm/authority/2

summary: - Xauthority not set up on login
+ Xauthority locked up
