*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

killall -9 compiz repeatedly doesn't make unity to reload all the times.

This is caused by the fact that due to a regression unity7 is not loaded
anymore by upstart (but by gnome-session) and thus it seems that
sometimes it doesn't properly gets restarted.

This is also a security issue, because if the session was locked, and
unity is not reloaded the session won't be locked anymore.
