This appears to have been something in my personal config - a test user didn't replicate the issue, and after moving all relevant directories out of the way (.compiz, .config, .dbus, .gconf, .gnome2* and .local), I was able to get a clean unity session up.
There must be some kind of cruft in my config from quantal to raring which caused this - it would probably be nice to figure out, but could be tricky to diagnose with the lack of information given by the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163800 Title: launcher, dash, hud etc all fail to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1163800/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
