Sure, it's entirely possibly that my login has been silently ignoring the
non-sh syntax errors, so in that respect, getting notification of them now is
a good thing.

I still wonder what in my shell code could be causing lightdm to exit back
to the login screen and where those errors would be logged so that I can view
them and debug them.

Cheers.
