I think I'm having the same problem.  It started happening shortly after
upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS.  There are two user accounts on
my system.  One works fine.  The other experiences this problem - hangs
with only background image displayed after login.  I've waited a half
hour and nothing changes.  None of the solutions I've found on the
internet work (resetting Unity, reinstalling ubuntu-desktop, etc.)  I'm
guessing some configuration got borked during the upgrade, but I am no
guru and have no idea how to track it down.  If there's information I
can provide that might help, I'll be happy to do so, but you may have to
explain how to get it.

Title:
  lightdm hangs after updates

Bug description:
  I've updated today my Trusy Thar installation. I can't login to Unity,
  with my account, or a guest account. Lightdm hangs after password
  input, or after I click on the Guest account.

  Also, I used to auto-login. Now it greets me with the screen where I
  must input my password. After inputing it, lightdm hangs and I can't
  login.
