Comment 2 for bug 769095

Seems like you are getting the desktop dash mode instead of the netbook. The code suggests(i believe) if the horizontal pixels are >1279 and vertical pixels are >799 then the desktop mode should work. Are you sure you did not use the command line option to override?

try this in terminal and see if the problem is fixed.

$ gsettings set com.canonical.Unity form-factor Netbook
