Title:
  Unity HUD stuck open, launcher is not responsive and --reset has been
  deprecated

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The HUD is now stuck open on my system, I am unable to close it at
  all.  I didn't even open it. I hit alt-tab to switch apps and the HUD
  opened instead.  Now it won't go away.  Additionally, the launcher is
  no longer responsive.  I can mouse over and un-hide the launcher, but
  any clicks are sent through to whatever application is underneath the
  launcher.  The icons no longer launch anything.

  In the past, I would have simply fixed this by running 'unity --reset'
  in a terminal, but that has apparently been removed, thank you very
  much, so now I am unhappily left with no option that I can see but to
  reboot my machine to fix this weird unity behaviour.

  Unity is still quirky and buggy, I don't think removing the --reset
  option is the best thing to do for now.
