(Get the code!)
Somewhere in the pile, there is a missing Depends: indicator-datetime indicator-power. Installing both of those packages lets the unity-greeter run again.
The failure mode of X constantly launching something that dies does make debugging it rather painful. It would be good to wrap unity-greeter with something that counts how many times it dies, and if it gets high enough, STOPS LAUNCHING IT and does a sleep 9999999h. That way, one can switch to another vt to deal with it, instead of needing to reboot, break, and chmod a-x /usr/bin/X or so to get it to stop hurting so much.
