I decided to upgrade to 14.10 in the end and that made the problem go away.

Title:
  GUI does not work after update

Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After logging into PC today and running the software updater, various
  system updates were downloaded. I was promped to restart, which I did.
  At reboot, the system would get as far as displaying the login screen.
  After I entered my password, the system appears to hang, with no disk
  activity. I have a dual monitor system, but only the left monitor is
  active, in that it displays a purple Ubuntu splash screen, without the
  login box. I have tried restarting a number of times, but the result
  is always the same. I can log in by using the advanced options and
  drop into the root console.

  I am using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.
  uname -a reports 3.11.0-20-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 1 20:40:25 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Hardware is a Dell Precision T3400
