Bug Description

I hear the startup sound, and my background loads. I can access the right-click menu of the nautilus desktop. I get libnotify notifications too. But that's it - there's no menubar or launcher.

I've tried "unity --reset", but it doesn't help.

Hi Tom, Could you please use the Apport bug reporting tool in future, it provides a lot of information that I'm going to ask you to retrieve manually:
-General system spec
-version of unity
-related unity packages (unity-panel-service etc)
