Looking at the gnome-session.log file it appears there were problems
with OpenGL support in X at some point.  That seems to have disabled the
OpenGL compiz plugin.

I'd suggest running the Compiz Configuration Settings Manager (ccsm) and
unselecting the Unity plugin (if it's checked) and the re-selecting it.
That should (hopefully) reset the basic configuration required to run
Unity.

(As for the ssh-related problem, I've run into that with recent builds
where remote X clients (wrongly) create a ~/.Xauthority file that the
local session cannot overwrite:  try removing all ~/.Xauthority files).
