Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 14.10
Compiz 0.9.12
Unity 7.3.1
uname 3.16.0-29-generic 

Upon login to my Unity session, no sidebar or top menu bar is present;
it does load desktop icons and the desktop image. Unity commands (CTRL-
ALT-T for terminal app) don't work, but system commands do. Applications
can only be launched by system command, and when they do they have no
window dressing. I launched unity from a terminal, and got some of my
desktop back (no indicators, system widgets).

Steps taken for remedy/debug:

- I have tried reinstalling a number of packages: compiz, ccsm, unity, unity-tweak-tool.
- I tried to use `xprop WM_CLASS` to see what was being displayed in the top bar once unity was initialized; clicking the blank area where indicators would have been returned `WM_CLASS: not found`
- ran most system testing suites
- I also made use of the unity tweak tool reset feature, and got the following warnings (the full output is farther below):

compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this.

**I am not sure if this is a unity bug crashing compiz, or compiz
interfering with unity.**
