Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
I use custom Gnome + Awesome desktop.
After upgrade to Natty I was left with wallpaper and mouse only: no gnome panel (I use it together with Awesome), no Awesome.
I found that Compiz has started and is preventing Awesome from starting.
Workaround:
1. sudo mv /usr/share/
2. Add gnome-panel to autostart
