Hello

Actually i have a similar problem with a fat clients on a 3D capable machine (intel i915 and nvdia).
After user login, i see empty screen without anything and default wallpaper. The right click is activate, and i can change default wallpaper or launch nautilus.

Manually selecting unity-2d works around the issue, i have full desktop
with unity-2d.

Possible by-pass by add the next line in LTS.CONF
LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d"
