This seems like two bugs:
1) Unity plugin mysteriously disabled, have to re-enable via ccsm
2) Launcher icon size can't be adjusted

I just experienced #1. The only thing I changed on the system between
working and broken login sessions was to install gparted (0.16.1-1),
which also installed libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a (>= 1:2.24.0)

I also found this in the syslog:

    Feb  7 12:32:05 Arcturus gnome-session[1803]: WARNING: Child process 2057 was already dead.
    Feb  7 12:32:05 Arcturus gnome-session[1803]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal 9
    Feb  7 12:32:05 Arcturus gnome-session[1803]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly
    Feb  7 12:32:05 Arcturus gnome-session[1803]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....

Kind of trouble-shooting in the dark here, but that's the best I've got.
Beyond that I don't know what could have caused it.

Title:
  Unity not starting after boot

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After boot today. Unity was missing. Empty desktop.
  In ccsm is seems the unity plugin was disabled somehow, I re-enabled it. 
  Unity came back but coudn't set launcher icon size in settings -> appearance -> look.

  I tried: (http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears/)
  dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ 
  unity --reset-icons &disown

  Unity did reset

  Still can set  icon size in settings -> appearance -> look.
  Have to use Unity Tweak Tool for that to set icon size on 32.
  Then started Chromium and Unity crashed again.

  Restart and still can't set icon size or launcher to autohide.
