As a work around you can install wdm:
$ sudo apt-get install wdm
...
Select 'wdm' as your default manager

It's kinda ugly but it works, and you can put in a background with the ugly square boxes and X style buttons

Then cd /etc/X11/wdm and edit wdm-config:

. . .
# Don't listen for XDMCP
! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
. . .

Comment out the requestPort line with a '!' and restart.
