Public bug reported:

My graphics card (radeon 6300) was working with the open source driver
included in onieric, but I decieded to try the proprietary driver by
enabling it in jockey. Unfortunalty it was slower and broke suspend so I
used jockey to remove it again. After that unity wouldn't work anymore.
I just got an empty desktop with the top panel and menu bar visible but
nothing else. I tried purging the config files related to fglrx and
reinstalling the open source driver but it didn't work. I had to switch
to a tty and reinstall fglrx to get the desktop back.
