Public bug reported: After switching on my computer and logging in to ubuntu(unity) the first touch of a launcher icon freezes the machine such that a restart is the only way out.
If on startup I log into gnome classic (which works fine) and immediately log out then log into ubuntu(unity) --not switching off -- everything works as expected with a very pleasing result.
