Lightdm refusing to run after system upgrade

Hi,

since yesterday, i have no X11 GUI anymore after a
sudo apt-get upgrade

Because a new kernel 4.1.0 came with it, i rebooted (which i do seldomly). When the X11 login should have appeared, the screen was just slowly blinking; actually switching to graphics mode and back again. I couldn't get to a text console while this went on, but forced reboot with ctrl+alt+del worked, thankfully. On the next reboot, same story. On the third try, i set runlevel 3 in the grub linux entry and got the text consoles.
After some searching in the logs under /var/log i found the following utterances and complaints by lightdm (full logs on request):

The only real error here appears to be (lightdm:4144): CRITICAL **: session_get_login1_session_id: assertion 'session != NULL' failed, which i don't understand.

Yes, lightdm* was upgraded, too; but i tried again with  a downgrade to the previous versions, to no avail.
Any ideas?

Hi,

the problem remains, but i struggled free by sidestepping it: i defected from lightdm to lxdm from the repositories.

So, avoided for now, but as yet unsolved.
