Bug Description
Unity shell fails to start when using FGLRX driver on Ubuntu Oneiric. The compiz runs, and seems to work okay, but neither the unity panel nor launcher shows up (it runs unity2d instaed). When trying to run 'unity -replace', the error message is:
compiz (unityshell) - Error: GL_ARB_
compiz (core) - Error: InitPlugin 'unityshell' failed
compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't activate plugin 'unityshell'
