Update on Comment #143. I have yet to see the problem again. When it
last happened I had installed the ppa but not rebooted the  system.
While Unity indicated that 7.2.4 was running it' s possible that  the
ppa didn't restart a necessary process. It's now been over three days
with many opportunities for problems and I have not seen a recurrence
since I rebooted (after I posted #143).

I'm knocking on wood as I write this. I'll post again if I see a
recurrence after installing the ppa and rebooting.

  If you can reproduce this bug please be sure to provide the following info:
  1. Do you use a multi-head setup? If yes, using just one monitor fixes the issue?
  2. Can you reproduce all the time?
  3. Do you use ldap? If yes, using gnome-screensaver fix the issue (see comment #115) can you still reproduce that?
  4. Please consider posting /var/log/auth.log (at least part of it, should not contain sensitive information)
  5. Please specify the unity version
  *** END IMPORTANT **

  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 :(
