Title:
  unity upgrade prevents full desktop after login

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On wily with latest apt-get update & dist-upgrade I noticed a problem
  where after logging in via the lightdm greeter, the full desktop would
  not come up.  The screen blanks and it appears as if I get my normal
  desktop solid background, but the global menu bar never comes up, and
  no default apps, or other ways to start anything (e.g. gnome-do
  doesn't start, can't bring up a terminal, etc.)  The machine is not
  unresponsive though... you can ssh into it.

  After an extensive session of bisecting upgrades I narrowed it down to
  unity, unity-schemas, unity-services.  I've apt-mark held all three
  and the rest of the dist-upgrade worked fine.
