Public bug reported: When I install unity-system-compositor and restart lightdm, I always get a black screen with a frozen mouse pointer in the middle (actually on two screen since I use multi-monitor).
This is happening through several updates of unity-system-compositor. Alt-F1, apt-get purge unity-system-compositor and restarting lightdm again fixes the problem. 100% reproducable.
