Bug Description

There exists a long delay in the unity greeter between showing the user accounts (no background still loaded, dotted bg and some indicators missing) and been able to click to select the user account, or even input the password.

Note that only when the background and the missing indicators show up, I'm able to do any action to start the session. Even if the main graphical controls are already on screen, clicking on them or inputting text, does nothing.
