Michael,
Your unity-greeter patch didn't solve the problem for me. I am not able to log
in at all at the moment. In my case, as well as turning off the login sound
with Ubuntu Tweak, I set the 'use the current desktop as background' option
(boy do I regret that now!). Relevant section of my x-0-greeter.log is:

If I knew which config file the background was specified in, I'd try
resetting it to the default. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ian

Title:
unable to log in - hangs on 'logging in' msg
Status in Light Display Manager:
New
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise:
In Progress
Bug description:
On my laptop I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04, 3 or 4 weeks ago.
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.
