As additional information, I had on screen keyboard enabled and that opened without window borders or titlebar. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881879 Title: Blank desktop after login - no launcher, panel etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/881879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
