This also affects me after upgrading to 3.0.0-13 this morning on a Dell Dimension 9200 w/ 2GB RAM running AMD64. This is too much of a "production machine" to spend a lot of time playing with it. I can confirm that manually restarting lightldm works. I have reverted back to 3.0.0-12 for the time being.

One fix appears to be Ctrl+Alt+F1,user and password and startx but I fixed it by switching to using GDM - sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow gdm. This happened after I ran updates on Wednesday of this week.
