Today's dist-upgrade, which pulled in new xserver-xorg-core 2:1.17-2-1ubuntu7 and a new unity 7.3.2+15.10.20150921-0ubuntu1 seems to have restored my full desktop. Closing as invalid for now. Will reopen if the problem recurs.

I see a small rectangular patch in the lower left corner, and on this patch I can right-button to bring up the menu. While the rest of the screen will display the cursor, it is neither the correct background color (nor can it be set to the right color; it's just black), and the rest of the screen will not respond to mouse clicks at all.
