SRU testcase

1. install unity from precise-proposed
2. make sure unity does not crash while enabling/disabling a plugin in CCSM

while changing some settings and waiting for them to get committed

Hello Jeroen, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
