Public bug reported: I upgraded to 12.10 this morning, restarted the computer, logged-in, and then Unity launcher and the top-bar didn't show up.
However, the desktop was ok and I could open guake. Because I noticed before the upgrade that nvidia-current was going to be removed I tried to reinstall it using apt-get and it fixed the problem. That might be also a problem in fglrx, which was the replacement, but as I have a Nvidia card it probably shouldn't be installed at all in first place.
