Just installed today's batch of updates, including new kernel 3.2.0-26 and rebooted. Now the screen just has a logo in the middle and "Ubuntu 12.04 LTS" in bottom left corner, but no box to choose which user to log in as, or to enter a password. CTRL-ALT-F1 gets me to a "login:" prompt, and I can log in - but I have no idea what to look at to find out what is wrong, or to fix this.

Tried older kernels and recovery mode for current kernel - no joy, still no way to log into the graphics console.

Possibly same problem as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/993420

I didn't manage to get "screen speaking" turned on. But some random clicking did get the password box to appear. Things were still somewhat messed up as video settings seemed scrambled. But after more random clicking it sorted itself out - perhaps because something broken was reset when I downloaded some more updates? I have no idea.
