Binary package hint: unity

After request from Didier Roche from here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/685037
I submit this new bug file with updated description.
------------------------------
Let me try to explain what is the behavior of Unity. I downloaded and installed the Alpha 1 of 11.04. Everything worked just out-of-the box (Dell Studio 1557). I logged in to Unity and after I was connected to my Internet router, it prompt me that "proprietary drivers are available". I installed them and then rebooted. After that I reach the log in screen but after I provide username-password Unity doesn't show up. Now the interesting part is:
* I hear the login sound/music
* I see and use mouse point, right click works (can create folders, launchers etc. and interact with them)
* I see the wallpaper :)
* Notifications work, as notification balloon pops up to tell me that I am connected to Internet, but it is not transparent when I move the mouse over it

But if I choose to login with Ubuntu Classic Session, Gnome works.

What It seems to me is that the the upper menu bar (global menu) and the left side bar doesn't show up. To file this bug I had to right click, create a launcher for gnome terminal and then run in terminal:
 "ubuntu-bug unity"

I also attach a screenshot where the only thing you can see is the wallpaper and the terminal launcher that I had to create to submit this bug report
If you need more info please tell me what should I report.
