Public bug reported:

On wily with latest apt-get update & dist-upgrade I noticed a problem
where after logging in via the lightdm greeter, the full desktop would
not come up.  The screen blanks and it appears as if I get my normal
desktop solid background, but the global menu bar never comes up, and no
default apps, or other ways to start anything (e.g. gnome-do doesn't
start, can't bring up a terminal, etc.)  The machine is not unresponsive
though... you can ssh into it.

After an extensive session of bisecting upgrades I narrowed it down to
unity, unity-schemas, unity-services.  I've apt-mark held all three and
the rest of the dist-upgrade worked fine.
