however, that the background image of the selected user comes up in
unity-greeter if it is a static image. If it is a changing image, you

I can confirm that using the up-down arrow keys at the login prompt

Problem seems to occur for me when logging out of one users account before
logging into second users account.
The restarting unity-greeter can _eventually_ be stopped by pressing an arrow
key to select the other user.

Or
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
and select gdm instead of lightdm. This leaves ubuntu-desktop in place

this bug twice this week.
The screen refresh make it impossible to log in and I cannot switch to a
