Bug Description

In unity 3D there is no wallpaper on the desktop, no icons on the Launcher, thou the little triangles appear. the Application Menu is showing up normally. When launched, windows do not appear on the white area, but they'r names appear on the menubar and I can interact with them using my keyboard. Maybe it's a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/762478 .
It appears to be the same bug as in 11.04.
