Launcher and systems indicator icons do not appear on VMs with raring desktop installations

[Para Siva]

On VMs, both VBOX and kvm with libvirt, compiz crashes with SIGSEGV on every reboots after the installations with unity7.0.0daily13.04.15-0ubuntu1. This could not be reported due to some obsolete packages available in 20130418 desktop images.

Updating the system with the latest packages stopped the crash occurring but the desktop launcher, systems indicator icons on the top left corner and the window frames do not appear now with the updated system.

Steps:
1. Install raring desktop i386 on a VM
2. Reboot after the installation (now the dialog informing compiz crash and that it could be reported would appear)
3. Update the system with latest packages
4. Reboot again (now it could be noticed that no icons, launcher and window frames being visible)

NB: This issue is only happening on the VMs and not in hw. I have not yet tried with amd64 images, will update if that's needed.
