No, please re-read  policy. Overestimating the severity won't help
fixing the bug. Quite the contrary in fact, it just pisses me off and
doesn't exactly motivates me.

Well, sure, everyone likes bugs to be fixed, including me. But the right
way is to report bugs the most accurately possible. And then provide
patches.

I have no idea, you didn't really tell what you expected and what was
different. lightdm just works for me.

I assume this is like https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/871070
which has way better information than this one... Could you at least
confirm?
