Title:
  Installing and uninstalling unity destroyed my desktop

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  Ran "aptitude install unity".
  Logged out, logged back in.
  Tried unity.
  Ran "aptitude remove unity".
  Logged out, logged back in.

  
  Got nothing but an entirely white screen and a mouse.

  My login screen doesn't have any way to select a desktop interface, so
  I assume it's still defaulting to unity while unity is not installed.

  I noticed "aptitude remove unity" only removed the unity package, and
  not the dependencies that got installed with it.

  I was able to get a terminal with ctrl-alt-t, and run compiz and
  gnome-panel, which gets me a mostly functional desktop.  Only thing
  weird with it so far is my tasks aren't showing up on the panel.  And
  it failed back to metacity instead of actually using compiz.
