Looking at DpkgLog.txt file it looks like a whole slew of packages,
including the all-important ubuntu-desktop metapackage, were removed on
2014-03-13 around 23h00.  It's not clear why these packages were
removed, but all the unity-2d packages were removed and compiz was not,
which is a little odd considering the unity2d are dummy packages on
which nothing should be depending.

I would recommend trying to fix your packages by explicitly installing
the unity-desktop package and see if it fixes your current problems.

Title:
  After upgrade Unity session is broken

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After yesterdays upgrade, when I log in into default session (Unity),
  there was no Panel, no Launcher, no windows decorations. there was
  Yesterday's upgrade was related to Unity packadges, so after reboot I
  logged into Gnome Flashback session - works as expected. Reboot - and
  there is no Unity session in Unity Greeter. I logged again into
  Flashback and launch Synaptic. I saw, that Unity package wasn't even
  installed, so I installed it - Unity session shows up in Greeter, but
  thaths all, still no Panel, no Launcher, etc. In CCSM Unity plugin was
  uncheck. I was able to launch window decorations, but launching Unity
  plugin caused CCSC crash. In another try there was info, that launch
  of Unity plugin is in conflict with Window Decorations plugin, but
  somehow launching Unity plugin does nothing, but Compiz crash
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1292393).
