I'm having a similar problem in Trusty, but Gnome has been saving me for
now as it's the only option that works at login. After logging into
Unity all I get is the wallpaper and cursor.

It started while running 14.10 and the machine simply shut down while I
was on Steam. I've searched a bit and other people with the same issue
said it came up after upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10. I had updated for a
while with no issues. They've mentioned something related to plymouth
and graphics.

By now I've reinstalled Ubuntu a few times with no luck.

Title:
  Cannot log into Unity, Gnome. Cannot launch GTK apps

Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is fresh Natty install with previos home partition. Root and home
  partitions are on SSD. I have nVidia card.

  After GDM is started it tries to log me in automatically as it is set
  to. However it never reaches the desktop. All I get is Ubuntu
  wallpaper and mouse cursor. By pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete I get back
  into GDM. The only session I can succesfully log into is the recovery
  console.

  I tried installing Unity-2D from PPA, after I logged into this session
  the unity panels appeared for a while but they were blinking rapidly
  only to disappear completelly after I tried eg. launch an application.

  I installed nvidia-current.

  I tried temporarily removing ~/.config folder but nothing changed.

  I tried installing Xubuntu-desktop but the system would not deliver
  anything but wallpaper either so I removed xubuntu* and xfce*

  Finally installing Kubuntu-desktop I can log into Kubuntu session I am
  in now in. However I cannot launch Firefox, Chromium, Nautilus so I
  guess the problem is GTK or Gnome related.

  Please ask for any additional files I can provide.
