Bug Description
WORKAROUND/FIX:
unity --reset
TEST CASE:
Edit ~/.gconf/
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
After the update earlier today to Unity 5.8, I've found that when I try logging into Unity 3D, all I get is a solid black screen and my mouse cursor. I know it loaded some sort of desktop though, since I could still hit Ctrl+Alt+T and blindly type `sudo reboot` followed by my password to make my computer do a normal reboot.
I do not get the same problem with GNOME Shell or Unity 2D (the latter of which I'm using now to report this bug), although for both the screen does temporarily turn black but only for a moment. Unity 5.6 3D used to work perfectly fine for me.

.Compiz v9.0 problem on radeon.
I am using radeon r600g with latest 7.10 git mesa on OpenSuSE 11.3
Also using latest xf86-video-ati driver from git and compiled for myself...
Have linux 2.6.36 vanilla kernel compiled by myself...
I install compiz v9.0 from opensuse's 11.3 repo. After installation I run compiz via "compiz-manager" command than something happen.
I can see background picture. But there is no windows on it. Nothing visible but mouse cursor. Actually when you move mouse, it changes shape at corners of windows. Actually you can resize and move windows but they are just invisible.. I checked compiz output but there is nothing wrong.
After some search I find some errors on my Xorg.0.log. There is multiple lines of this error:
(EE) RADEON(0): [DRI2] DRI2SwapBuffers: bad drawable
So something wrong but don't know what is it actually. I tried with r600 DRI drivers and have same result. It's not related with 3D stack or r600g I think.
Just let you know about the problem...
Thanks.
