I've been working on this site in need of a form_alter on the user_login form and using the below code the only item I've been successfully able to alter is the submit button text. The account name doesn't change according to what I specified, nor do the other form items unset. I've successfully altered the user_register form with a separate case in the module shown below. I have Login Destination and LoginToboggan installed and have tried variations on 'user_login' to no avail and I still can't understand why one alteration (the submit value) works while the rest do not.
function custommodule_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
switch ($form_id) {
//user login
case 'user_login':
// $output .= print_r($form);
unset($form['name']['#description']);
unset($form['name']['#suffix']);
unset($form['pass']['#description']);
unset($form['pass']['#suffix']);
$form['account']['name']['#title'] = t('E-mail address');
$form['submit']['#value'] = t('Sign in');
break;
