Bug Description
I am used to the fact that sometimes (since at least Ubuntu 10.04) that at least parts of compiz do not work sometimes after reboot or after a while working.
While under Ubuntu 12.04 this works without problems under Ubuntu 12.10 pressing ALT+F2 and entering compiz --replace the restore of the session does not work: Unity launcher is missing, top panel and window borders/decorators also.
See screenshot.

I think that is correct and normal. Try this instead:
unity --replace
