Bug Description
[impact]
This issue prevents X applications from working properly when lightdm is
used as a display manager.
[steps to reproduce]
1) run evince in a desktop session started from lightdm. If this bug has not been addressed, apparmor denials will be seen on the /run/lightdm/
[regression potential]
The change in the patch for this bug is a slight loosening of
the apparmor policy for X applications. The risk of an introduced
regression is small.
[original description]
The default apparmor 'X' abstraction permits access to /{,var/
Please consider adding the following to the 'X' abstraction:
owner /{,var/
