Title:
  unity --reset caused unity work incorrectly and lists many errors

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

Bug description:
  A thunderstorm interrupted my upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 so I had to
  do a clean install. I didn't have 12.04 on disc so installed 11.10
  then upgraded to 12.04 without installing any updates to 11.10.

  After upgrading to 12.04, I removed various packages I didn't want
  (mostly all the stuff in indicator-messages and also indicator-
  messages itself).

  Then, I installed some stuff, including CompizConfig settings manager.

  Then, I added stuff to the white-list with *gsettings set
  com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist ['JavaEmbeddedFrame',
  'Wine', 'Update-notifier', 'gnote', 'checkgmail', 'Vuze', 'Opera']*

  After updating the whitelist, rather than log out and back in, I ran
  *unity --reset*. That's when everything went wrong. After many reboots
  and installing and removing the *NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver*,
  Unity never fully recovered. I'm seeing all the problems described
  here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126221/12-04-ui-
  problems/127238#127238

  In addition, CompizConfig settings manager is being ignored. I mean
  whatever changes I make there, nothing changes with Unity. Before I
  did the unity --reset, CompizConfig settings manager was working.

  Here is the terminal output from unity --reset:

  colin@colin-System:~$ unity --reset WARNING: Unity currently default
  profile, so switching to metacity while resetting the values unity-
