Michael, tried the updated unity-greeter patch from your PPA (#17 above), but upon disabling the 'login sound' I was again unable to login using LightDM/unity-greeter. Seems to be more than just the alpha issue.

Recently I had trouble logging in - I'd type in my password but it would hang on the 'logging in...' message you get after pressing enter. After rebooting a few times I was able to log in. Now, rebooting isn't helping, I'm unable to log in at all. I stay at the 'logging in...' message until I shut down.
