Comment 7 for bug 839838

Omer: with the latest updates my account still will not work, but with a different account I am indeed able to log in. So, presumably there is some setting I've customised to create the problem, but I've no idea what it might be (or why the problem only occurred after Friday's updates). On my account, things fail pretty much completely - it does not even get as far as drawing the wallpaper. The lightdm wallpaper remains, and if I switch to a virtual terminal and then back again, the image of the virtual terminal stays on the screen.
Unity 2D and Gnome Classic (no effects) work, although Gnome Classic is a bit of a mess. I'll see if I can start Gnome shell, but I think I tried that on Friday and failed.
