Bug description:
  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. After reboot test, and resuming checkbox, terminal displayed the following:

  app_id          :  "com.canonical.checkbox-gui"
  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply"   "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

  - I also made use of the unity tweak tool reset feature, and got the

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