unity 2d install under xubuntu does not make unity 2d a login option

[awol]

used mini.iso to install 12.04 non-pae. installed xubuntu - NOT unity. all was good. used synaptic to install unity-2d.

there is no unity-2d session offered in the xubuntu login manager - as stated in the synaptic unity-2d description.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Can you confirm that gnome-session is not installed and that installing it fixes the problem?

[awol (awol99)]

Yes Confirmed. gnome-session was not installed. i installed it then
unity-2d was an option at xubuntu login.

the resulting unity-2d interface had clear GUI deficits - like missing
launcher icons and no logout option - problems ??

Ok, so we need to fix the dependencies of unity-2d to include gnome-session (or move the unity-2d stuff to its own package)

The GUI deficits you see are reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/948762

Thanks Albert,

yes bug unity-2d/+bug/948762 seems like the GUI issue i had.
