Title:
  unity --reset doesn't work if you're not logged in to any unity
  session

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  unity --reset is great if you've broken your configuration.

  However. If you've broken it so much that it doesn't even start
  sensibly, or you can't find a terminal, then you need to use a VT or
  ssh to run it. And then you get this error:

  % unity --reset
  WARNING: no DISPLAY variable set, setting it to :0

  GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
  //bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified
  No protocol specified
  Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

  Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/unity", line 222, in <module>
     reset_unity_compiz_profile ()
   File "/usr/bin/unity", line 84, in reset_unity_compiz_profile
     except (GError, AttributeError), e:
  NameError: global name 'GError' is not defined
  [1]    8838 exit 1     unity --reset

  It should definitely work in this case, restoring your config so that
  you can log in!
