I think the original bug is definitely a gnome-settings-daemon crash.
The second crash related to unity-place-applications is a different

I'm on Virtualbox and my setup behaves just like Rocko's description.
The starting theme looks like Ambiance and after some seconds the screen
looks pretty much like Paolo's screenshot.

people around here, so I'm quite surprised that this bug has only 12
people affe
Yesterday I restored some of my old folders from Maverick (10.10) and ~/.compiz
was one of them. Today, the topbar was exactly the same as OP. Removing it
fixes the issue.
Here's the clue from dmesg wich make me to believe that compiz was guilty:
