Binary package hint: unity

Unity won't start,

Finally found the reason ;-)

On 5 machines I upgraded from Maverick to Natty, Unity doesn't start on
any of them.

However all my machines have both kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop
installed, and use KDM as graphical login manager.

Starting the "Ubuntu" session from KDM will open a session where Unity
doesn't start (only desktop background comes up)

Stopping KDM (sudo stop kdm), then starting GDM (sudo start gdm),
logging into the "Ubuntu" session from GDM, and then unity works.

This being perfectly reproductible on all machines I tested it on (all
upgraded from Maverick to Natty).
