Similar problem here. I had fully desinstalled llvm-3.1, including
libllvm-3.1; this triggered desinstallation of libgl1-mesa-dri (which I
did not pay attention to). At next reboot, no GLX acceleration, and when
logging in, Unity does not start (nothing except wallpaper and desktop
background menu).

In the absence of GLX acceleration, for whatever reason,  there should
be a fallback. I could not even browse the web to search for this bug!
