I don't have a dual monitor or anything, when I opened the lid of my
laptop in the morning the usual login/unlock screen did not display a
password prompt, it just showed my name and no buttons, no text inputs,
nothing.

This was the workaround that worked for me (from another pts/vc):

DISPLAY=:0 compiz --replace
