   [lucid] update to lucid shows as mythbuntu and doesn't work

Lucid upgrade makes Mythbuntu my default session

Status in “mythbuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
After upgrading to Lucid, my default session was suddenly Mythbuntu.  So my first impressions after the upgrade were:

 * The logo page says "mythbuntu" instead of "ubuntu"—puzzling but given the new branding, not a clear indication that something is wrong.

 * My session comes up as a black screen with no usable features except a clock in an otherwise empty task bar.  No icons, no menus.

Explicitly picking "Gnome session" as the login session gets around it, though this isn't exactly obvious.

I'm not sure why this happened.  Maybe I installed and un-installed mythtv at some point in the past, or maybe it's because I un-installed compiz to get around graphics driver problems, and so may have had to remove the main ubuntu dependencies package as well.  This was a complete upgrade, not the known "partial upgrade" issue.
