Also, I've enabled the xorg-edgers PPA and upgraded Xorg. The theme issue mentioned in comment #5 may be due to this, but I'm unsure. I also tried kernel 3.5 from that PPA, but when booting that kernel, Xorg locks up the system in some manner such that there is no keyboard or mouse input, nor does the soft power button work to shut down correctly. The cursor in the lightdm screen for password entry continued to blink though, and during one attempt to use 3.5, I did notice on the lightdm screen, there appeared to be a framebuffer vt cursor blinking in the upper left as well.
I would be very happy to have this fixed, and even install Quantal on this machine, but I can't install it while the system just freezes at the end of the boot sequence (as it also does on the daily live images now).
