[ubuntu-tester <cedricg91@xxxxxxxxx>]

For my part, reading explanations above, I understand it may be an LDAP configuration issue.
However, I perform tests on 2 PC with the same configuration (LDAP Authentication, home areas served by NFS + automount, multimonitor) :
- PC 1 using Marco Trevisan's unity package (https://launchpad.net/~3v1n0/+archive/ubuntu/unity-tests) works perfectly since installation of Marco's package (2014-09-11), before I get this issue every couple days, so I think Marco Trevisan's unity package probably fixed this bug.
- PC 2 using Unity up to date from Ubuntu repository, I get this issue randomly (about once a week).
So I think this is an issue related to Unity.

Like there is a known and not solved Unity bug about this issue, for me,
this is not logical to search the cause of this bug elsewhere (maybe I'm
wrong).

So msp3k and Philipp Wendler (and others using LDAP authentication),
could you test Marco Trevisan's unity package and tell us if it solves
this bug ? https://launchpad.net/~3v1n0/+archive/ubuntu/unity-tests

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Sometimes (but not always) after locking the screen there is the
  situation not having any input field where I can type the password to
  unlock the session again. The shaded gray area simply does not have
  the input field. I can't do anything, I have to switch to text console
  and stop/start lightdm service to cure the problem loosing all of my
  session :(
