Title:
  Unity launcher misbehaving, reset fails badly

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

Bug description:
  For some unfathomable reason, my Unity launcher has become unusable:
  it still occupies the left edge of the screen, but only a sliver of
  some unknown icon shows at the top, and the mouse is confused as to
  what's lying in the apparently blank area.  I'm forced to use the
  Windows key and search for everything.

  So I followed the instructions at http://askubuntu.com/questions/72366
  /how-can-i-restore-the-unity-launcher to attempt to reset it.  This is
  what then happened (and my Unity launcher is as bad as before):
