Bug Description
As title, you'll only see your desktop file icons, no launcher and title/indicator bar are displayed.
You can only reproduce this issue when you choose non-LightDM DMs as well as the default X display manager
* SDDM: reproduced
* GDM3: not even launch-able on my system so can't verify
* LXDM: reproduced
This issue doesn't exist in Ubuntu 15.10, only in 16.04
## Workaround ##
* Switch to LightDM
