This sounds very similar to what I'm experiencing on Ubuntu 14.10. Basically, 
when I login, teh screen goes blank for a moment, then right back to the login. 
I have reason to believe a recent update made this happen. From what I've been 
reading, I think it has something to do with the .Xauthority file found at ~/ . 
I found something similar to what I was experiencing.

Supposedly if I removed ~/.Xauthority (I made a backup) it would be regenerated 
after lightdm restarts. Well it doesn't, and I'm still stuck in a loop.

If anyone needs any command output, feel free to ask.
