Unity doesnt start launcher and panel

[Achim Behrens]

using 13.10
after an dist-upgrade removed unity and i reinstalled it unity doesnt load properly:
it just shows a black screen. i can start a terminal with ctrl-alt-t which brings up the terminal with decorations etc.

gnome-classic works fine when selected on lightdm.
