Considering everything in Xsession is considered part of the session so whenever something crashes the session crashes, I would guess it is a problem of 1 of the scripts it sources or the script itself. Lightdm keeps session logs in /var/log/lightdm/x-*.log so you should get some info on what goes wrong.

With Fedora, it was
# dnf remove lightdm*

If you ever decide to go back to a display manager,
try out lxdm.  It ain't real pretty , but it works.
And NO DRAMA!
