Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

oneiric i386 with ubuntu-desktop default config (natty upgrade) and
logged as ubuntu (unity) but the system dont start it, i get metacity.
On the same system a fresh natty install i386 run unity smootly.

this report is a follow up about jockey status: nvidia-current activated
but not used  ( bug #771788 )

looking at .xsession-errors, i've found this warning:

I/O warning : failed to load external entity
"/home/oem/.compiz/session/10f9d0a87f9328c22130451756883507900000027170038"

Glancing at this path i'm surprised that it dont exist at all (no folder/subfolder)
Running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure compiz dont help
Purging then reinstalling all the compiz packages dont create this folder/subfolder neither

So i manually create .compiz/session/ into nautilus then reconfigure again but nothing stored into /session/
So logout then login, but the folder is still empty, explaining why unity dont start.
