Alex, I've had a similar issue, a while back, couldn't log in a Desktop Environment anymore. It looped back to the login screen. Is it familiar? The solution was installing gdm from command line, "sudo apt-get install gdm" (running kde here, which uses lightdm) and then "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm".
Now I have upgraded to 13.10 too, but gdm seemed to be broken, only a black screen showed up. So then I had to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" :-) Perhaps one of these might work for you too.
