Comment 8 for bug 832681

It still does not work: if I select "Ubuntu" as session, I just get the background image and the mouse pointer: no menus, windows, or anything. Clicking any of the mouse buttons does nothing.

Then I switch to a console, set DISPLAY to :0 and try to start unity. I attach the console text.
It hangs after "Initializing composite options...done", just before "Initializing opengl options", until I switch to the vt runing X11 and back, where it continues writing as written in the attachment.

glxinfo also does not run from the vt: it just says "Name of display: :0" and stays there until I stop it with control-c.
After starting an "Ubuntu 2D" session, glxinfo works fine.
I attach also the output of glxinfo after starting the Unity 2D session, run from a Gnome terminal. If I switch to the text-mode vt it still hangs, but xlogo does work.

If I try "unity --replace" from the Gnome terminal, I get the same output as from the vt except that it does not hang. At the end I get the same segmentation fault, and the window decorations are gone.
I can type in both the terminal and Firefox, and the indicators panel works, but I can't rearrange the windows. Firefox stays behind the terminal as it was before.
