Bug Description

i installed the latest updates and then it's impossible to login into unity. i can enter my password but unity does not appear.
i tried the same with the guest-session and there unity works fine. so seems to be a problem with my user config but i can't remember that i changed anything. i also tried to remove ~/.compiz-1 and ~/.config/compiz-1 without success.
i switched to gnome-shell now as workaround.
