Bug Description
I installed the 14.04 daily build from a CD image yesterday to help testing. Unfortunately, I cannot test anything because right upon booting, when the desktop appears, every app I start causes about a minute of freezing (even the mouse pointer freezes) and then a restart (or complete crash) of the unity top menubar and sidebar.
The only thing in the desktop I customized was the Unity sidebar button size (in the settings app - to 16 pixels first, then to 24 pixels). But even the settings app caused this crash before I could use it to change the settings.
I am writing this in a 640x480 Firefox window without window manager from within the crashed Unity desktop.
Is this a known bug? I sure hope so. ;)

I think this might be the same problem that is reported in bug #1282342.
