Somewhere in the pile, there is a missing Depends: indicator-datetime
indicator-power.  Installing both of those packages lets the unity-
greeter run again.

The failure mode of X constantly launching something that dies does make
debugging it rather painful.  It would be good to wrap unity-greeter
with something that counts how many times it dies, and if it gets high
enough, STOPS LAUNCHING IT and does a sleep 9999999h.  That way, one can
switch to another vt to deal with it, instead of needing to reboot,
break, and chmod a-x /usr/bin/X or so to get it to stop hurting so much.
