Comment 0 for bug 806248

This issue, to me, is the same issue as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/762478. However a poster on their thinks this is only related to the nvidia graphics driver. I tend to disagree, nonelethess I am filing a new bug for it. The behavior is the same. The icons are not showing up in the Unity launcher. When I hover over them I can read the icon's "name" and clicking on it works. I tried unity --reset, unity --reset-icons, sudo restart gdm and finally only resetting my entire system fixed the issue (although the icons are back to their default now -- none of my custom icons are appearing). I do not have an NVIDIA graphics card, but rather, a built-in Intel one.
