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
