Public bug reported:

Generic bug so I remember to investigate this. Apparently on some
systems the fallback doesn't happen as it should and people get an empty
session instead of unity-2d.

Manually selecting unity-2d works around the issue. I'll release note
this bug and investigate when I get back home.
