Bug description:
  Following the removal of unity-2d, Unity will not run on some hardware that does not support 3d. On login I get the background image but no launcher or panel.
  .xsession-errors attached

  If I add to /etc/environment the line
      LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
  then unity start ok

  This problem appeared after the fix to bug #1039155 (Unity fails to
  load on old hardware (blank desktop; only wallpaper). Missing
  automatic fallback to LLVMpipe when unity_support_test fails) was
  released.
