Public bug reported: Occasionally it happens that Unity is misbehaving in a way or another. Until Ubuntu 11.10 I would "unity --replace" and Unity would be back to normal. After upgrading to Ubuntu Precise whenever I try using "unity --replace", it gets stuck in the middle, (Edge responsiveness...) and sometimes Unity would be functional again but if I close the terminal window or try to stop the process Unity hangs requiring a hard reboot. I noticed I was getting some problems with BAMF not finding child processes but don't know what that means. I tried using unity --reset and I got: ERROR 2012-08-13 16:08:55 unity.glib-gobject <unknown>:0 g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed It hung on: Setting Update "run_key"
