Title:
  unity fails to load after login - screen garbled; desktop unusable

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  everything was working fine until the recent kernel update.

  switching to tty1 and running unity --replace restores some (but not all) desktop functionality:
  - desktop loads (no longer garbled)
  - unity sidebar now loads
  - top menu bar doesn't load
  - many window decorations, font etc. not working so windows look awful
  - shortcut keys do not work
  - start up programs don't load

  some of the output from unity --replace is similar to this bug:
