Bug Description
Yesterday (August 6th, 2013) I came home and saw a software update notification on my Ubuntu Raring 13.04, 64-bit system and applied the update.
I had to go into terminal mode to reboot the system thinking it just needed a reboot to complete the update process. Now I have no working Unity, just a blank desktop - no icons or status bar.
I opened a terminal and typed "Unity" and received a "Segmentation Fault" error (see below). I tried "unity --reset (which I found out is depricated) and "unity --replace" with no results. I also tried "dconf reset -f /org/compiz/" "setsid unity" with no results.
The following is the error I received while trying to run in terminal:

Segmentation fault
I believe I am using NVidia GTX series graphics card, and I also beleive there was a linux kernel update along with the Unity update yesterday if that info helps.
