Title:
  "Log In" password field missing for user accounts during login

Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  * Restarted computer, log in screen came up complete with the user
  name, the correct session selected...but the password field itself was
  invisible.  It was roughly where it should have been, and did allow
  for selection/typing input of the password via keyboard, however, it
  was not visible.  Everything else seemed to be in the correct
  place/visible, just not the field to enter the password.

  * Changed the user to log in from the main user account to the guest
  account, and back: the field didn't return.

  * Logged in as a guest user and logged out, the field didn't return.
