Thanks for reporting this problem and trying to make Ubuntu better, but
the description is vague and makes it difficult for us to investigate.

Is the problem that applications crash on startup (as in comment #6) or
is the problem that the desktop crashes (as in the bug title), which
means the Launcher and Panel disappear?  If the latter, do they return
shortly?  Are the symptoms something else entirely?

Since you're running a prerelease version of Ubuntu, a crash normally
causes apport (the crash reporter dialog) to include information on the
cause, including necessary debug and log information.  This clearly did
not happen when this bug was reported.  Is there any additional
information you can supply that might aid us in determining your
problem?

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

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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. ;)
