  Desktop fails to load after login (displays tiled backgrounds)

Bug description:
  Was originally running 14.04-desktop in a VmWare Fusion v5-Pro guest.
  Ran fine for quite a while.  A certain update a few months ago
  introduced an issue where I could no longer log in graphically.  The
  guest console would present a normal login after boot, but attempting
  to log in causes the screen to display a tiled background and a
  failure to present any UI components.  Ssh access remains accessible,
  so it seems to be purely a graphical desktop problem.

  Anyway, I have since tried many things, including ensuring I had the
  latest updates, reinstalling unity, upgrading to 14.10, and upgrading
  Fusion to v7-Pro.  The result is exactly the same.  I will attach a
  screenshot.

  To be fair, I do not know for sure this is a unity bug.  But it is my
  best guess.
