[non-standard-config] unity fails to display properly after enabling compiz cube

[jim brown]

I was playing around with some compiz settings trying to enable the cube desktop (So apologies as this was a little bit of a user error however..... ) I've managed to break the unity desktop

I've tried unity --replace and get a warning no exact match for configuration 0x12000901
expected 0x8ed9078 instead got x: -7, y:0, width:500, height:383, above:0 this should never happen suggest raising a bug

just ran unity --reset to see if that faired any better - it looks like most of the unity desktop is restored but still got suggest raising a bug message

Marking confirmed, did the same thing to my build earlier messing around with the cube option. I haven't tried fixing it yet however.

Possibly dupe of Bug #773141
In CCSM automatic plugin sorting is enabled to avoid conflicts.
e.g. conflict second output from #2: cube, switcher *and* staticswitcher enabled, where staticswitcher should be disabled when cube is enabled.

The proxy_music_lens_message might be a different issue regarding proxy settings when searching music in dash unity-scope-musicstores tries to connect.

Regarding the description
... this should never happen suggest raising a bug
it's possibly a dupe of Bug #877505
