** Description changed:

  Starting from a command-line (non-GUI) Ubuntu installation, adding
  ubuntu-desktop is supposed to be enough.  But it is missing some
  dependencies.  In particular, the indicator-* packages (indicator-
  application, indicator-appmenu, indicator-datetime, indicator-messages,
  indicator-power, indicator-session, indicator-sound).  Without
  indicator-session, for instance, the GUI has no means of shutting down
  or rebooting (save for the command-line).  Without indicator-datetime,
  the control panel has no Date & Time applet.  (I'm still trying to
  figure out if some apparently-related packages such as gnome-panel,
  libindicate-gtk3, libindicate5, sni-qt or telepathy-indicator should be
  added or not.)
  
  I suspect network-manager-gnome should be added in order to get the
  network indicator (or maybe indicator-network instead?).
  
  The dash home is crippled unless the unity-lens-* packages are added
  (unity-lens-applications, unity-lens-files, unity-lens-music, unity-
  lens-video are the default set it seems).
  
  The apt-xapian-index package is required for Synaptic to have a usable
  Quick Filter.
  
  Finally, libgtk2-perl is something apt looks for repeatedly, and ought
  to be added as a dependency as well.
  
+ Addendum: gnome-screensaver and libpam-gnome-keyring are also missing.
+ Without them, the system menu's "Lock Screen" command does not work.
