Right now I can't GET to the LOG IN screen. I only see the Ubuntu with 
the dots under it...they change color for a while - then freeze and I 
must reboot. As I said, I likely now would have to reinstall grub. I 
can't get so far to try your idea. I also don't know what it would tell 
you. I want to log in as me in the end. For now, I can NOT access 14.04 
- I've said that a few times recently. It happened after I logged in in 
Gnome [never had before].

Title:
  Gnome Fallback[s] don't work in 14.04. Work once ONLY if reinstalled

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  While the computer is saying its a problem with gnome-panel, I keep
  re-installing gnome-session-fallback. It will work [in either flavor
  of fallback (no idea why there are now two!) ONE TIME - but the next
  time I get a screen with NO panels and NO keyboard shortcuts are
  recognized (so I can't even get a terminal). All I can do is hard
  shut-down of computer; restart into gnome or unity or some others
  (which I do NOT like to use!). I have done this MANY times now. It
  never stays 'done'. Am going back to my  copy ov 12.04 until someone
  can tell me why or how to make one of the fallbacks (hopefully both)
  work every time I sign in to 14.04. Thank you. Anyone else having
  similar problems? The only other thing I can think of is that I
  upgraded from 12.04 in which fallback operated just fine and was
  stable.
