Public bug reported:

My VNC client (RemoteDesktopViewer) is on a netbook running 32-bit pae
PrecisePangolin.

I have 2 other machines using totally different hardware, 
running 64-bit PrecisePangolin  and will be running `vnc4server` as the VNC Server.

When I start up the vnc4server on either machine, I sometimes get a window  that says:
"compiz has crashed".

When I vnc to either machine from the 32-bit netbook,
 I am missing the Unity launcher and the top menu bar.
 I only have the background image showing.

(FYI: I am able to go in the reverse direction, with the vnc4server running on 
my 32-bit netbook.
I can see the whole console window with top menu bar and the 
Unity launcher.
I have noticed that there is no "compiz" binary nor "compiz-decorator"
running on the 32-bit netbook prior to running vnc4server.
Thus, I don't get the compiz crashing message, since it's not even running.
I don't know why compiz is not running nor know really what compiz is or does.
)

I don't know where the problem lies: compiz, unity, vnc4server or other
but am willing to help narrowing this down with some guidance.
