Title:
  login screen has erratic behaviour and visual artefacts

Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I start up my PC, I see strange artefacts on the login screen,
  pressing keys causes the artefacts to change (for instance pressing
  'H' causes a few more white spots to appear, and pressing backspace
  causes them to disappear). Half the time when I log in, it either
  freezes and fails to log in or it crashes and restarts the login
  screen.

  I am using a standard Ubuntu 12.04 that is up to date (as of 21 May
  16h30) but I do have the nvidia restricted drivers activated.

  As an aside, I have another machine which is 11.10 which also gets
  artefacts on the login screen, but pressing enter causes the login
  screen to restart and they go away. On 12.04 this is not the case. The
  other machine is also using the nvidia restricted drivers.

  I don't know which logs to attach, so let me know. It is fairly
  reproduceable.
