[Jens <jens-launchpad.net@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did an `apt-get upgrade` yesterday. I also installed the virtualbox
guest additions (because my VM only had 640x480 and many utilities don't
work properly in that resolution, e.g. Ubuntu Testdrive).

No change - every application still crashes. Anybody working on this
yet? Anything I can do to help further?

Thanks!

Title:
  14.04 daily build (2014-02-21): unity desktop crashes on every
  application start

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed the 14.04 daily build from a CD image yesterday to help
  testing. Unfortunately, I cannot test anything because right upon
  booting, when the desktop appears, every app I start causes about a
  minute of freezing (even the mouse pointer freezes) and then a restart
  (or complete crash) of the unity top menubar and sidebar.

  The only thing in the desktop I customized was the Unity sidebar
  button size (in the settings app - to 16 pixels first, then to 24
  pixels). But even the settings app caused this crash before I could
  use it to change the settings.

  I am writing this in a 640x480 Firefox window without window manager
  from within the crashed Unity desktop.

  Is this a known bug? I sure hope so. ;)
