As Timo says this is absolutely repeatable, on all my Saucy machines. Log in via lightdm then login via ssh from another machine using ssh -X. Logout ssh and logout locally, then cannot login via lightdm. Removing .Xauthority fixes it. Bad .Xauthority attached. ** Attachment added:

I can reproduce this issue at will by logging in from lightdm, then logging in via ssh -X, 'xauth -b list' shows that it has two entries now. Log out from unity and try to log back in - no go until I remove .Xauthority. Permissions are 0600, file owned by me.. -- You received this bug

(btw - when you fix the login problem, by taking ownership of .Xauthority, but if your 3D acceleration is still broken, you can log into Unity 2D successfully - but what happens when you try to log into Unity 3D, is you see your background, and desktop icons, but no launcher, no HUD, no menubar.
