Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the additional info.  So it seems something does not liking
your 3 monitor setup.  I noticed you are using the open source radeon
driver.  Have you tried the fglrx binary driver?  Perhaps there is
better multi monitor support in that driver.

I'm going to modify the bug headline and description to better describe
that this issue is caused by having three monitors connected.  I'll also
look through more of the attached log files.

Please let me know the results when using the fglrx driver.

Thanks,
Chris

** Summary changed:

+ Unity Launcher and window borders missing upon login when using 3 monitors

** Description changed:

  In the past 36 hours an update released broke something.  Now I only
  have the desktop background and icons shown, but no unity launcher or
  window borders.  This is on a 2 GPU system with 3 displays on one card.
  I noticed in the apport some xserver errors, but don't know if they are
  relevant to the issue.
  
  To reproduce:
- All that is needed to produce this result is to log into the machine.  
+ All that is needed to produce this result is to log into the machine with three monitors connected.  Note that when two monitors is used, it works correctly.
  
  Expected:
  All window elements display such as unity launcher, window
