Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 16.04 beta had some updates today. I installed the updates,
rebooted, and logging in would never complete. When I logged in, my
desktop would appear, but the dash, launcher, and titlebar would never
appear. The problem resembled the issue reported here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/476930/ubuntu-desktop-does-not-load . I
was able to right-click on the desktop and open a terminal (which was
missing a titlebar).

I was able to work around the problem by running

    dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
    gnome-session-quit --force

and then logging in again.

However, before I did that, I dumped all of my current dconf settings to
a text file first. I've attached the text file dump of the /org/compiz
dconf keys that caused the problem.

Here's the diff between my old problematic dconf settings and the new
ones after I reset them and logged in again. I would guess that the
problem has to do with the plugins-with-set-keys or active-plugins
settings referring to things that were removed in the update.
