Title:
  Session starts on blank desktop with unsupported drivers

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  When starting Ubuntu Netbook edition (Maverick Beta, 64-bit), it seems
  it expects drivers for desktop effects to be present. On an nvidia
  system running the default nouveau drivers as expected when first
  installing, this results on blank desktop.

  Ctrl-Alt-Del shows the shudown dialog and CTRL-L locks the screen as
  expected, so Metacity should be loaded in such cases.

  Workaround:

  1) Press ctrl-atl-F1 to gain access to a console
  2) Invoke metacity:
  metacity &
  3) Start gnome-panel:
  gnome-panel &
  4) Go back to the desktop with Ctrl-Alt-F7
  5) Install the appropriate/missing drivers
  6) Reboot
