However all my machines have both kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop installed, and use KDM as graphical login manager. Starting the "Ubuntu" session from KDM will open a session where Unity doesn't start (only desktop background comes up) Stopping KDM (sudo stop kdm), then starting GDM (sudo start gdm), logging into the "Ubuntu" session from GDM, and then unity works. This being perfectly reproductible on all machines I tested it on (all upgraded from Maverick to Natty).
