Funny you should ask......
I started the Kubuntu machine I recently upgraded without removing 
kubuntu-settings-desktop on Sunday and it had the login screen "lockup" 
described by others. I just typed in the password, despite there being no 
flashing cursor, and it logged on but it wasn't ideal. This is far from a 
"production" machine, it is a very old laptop that I changed over to Kubuntu a 
couple of years ago to give it a little more life for my mother. I will look at 
it again next time I take the family over for Sunday dinner, earlier it my mum 
rings for "technical support", and try running "sudo apt full-upgrade" if there 
are still issues. Others online say that this fixes the login issue, I've not 
tried it. None of my machines have had a login issue, only the most recently 
upgraded old girl at my mother's. If I were dealing with important, production 
machines I would still remove kubuntu-settings-desktop first, run the update 
and then reinstall.
