Bug Description

I dont know what happened exactly

I removed some packages through synaptic, mostly bluetooth , totem, rhythem box then after suspend i woke up my computer and it was black.
The i rebooted and after logging into my user i have a desktop but no Unity bar on the left of the system bar at the top of my screen.

Right now the only thing running is this firefox that opened up with the bug report but i cant minimize ir or move it.
Pressing the super key does nothing.

I beleive i know the problem

In Synaptic i removed fglrx-updates because it was listed under Not installed residual config.
After rebooting i couldnt get unit or unity2d working.
I resintalled fglrx-updates and everything worked again.
