** Changed in: unity
    Milestone: 7.1.2 => 7.2.1

** Description changed:

- killall -9 compiz repeatedly doesn't make unity to reload all the times.
+ [Impact]
+ Killing 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.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ From a terminal run killall -9 compiz multiple times, it should always reload, but it fails after a couple of times.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The fix is about always making unity to be launched by upstart.
+ Regression potential is low, since upstart is now used by most ubuntu desktop applications, and it ensures compiz will run properly anyway.
