Bug Description
Ubuntu 14.10
Compiz 0.9.12
Unity 7.3.1
uname 3.16.0-29-generic
Upon login to my Unity session, no sidebar or top menu bar is present; it does load desktop icons and the desktop image. Unity commands (CTRL-ALT-T for terminal app) don't work, but system commands do. Applications can only be launched by system command, and when they do they have no window dressing. I launched unity from a terminal, and got some of my desktop back (no indicators, system widgets).
Steps taken for remedy/debug:
- I have tried reinstalling a number of packages: compiz, ccsm, unity, unity-tweak-tool.
- I tried to use `xprop WM_CLASS` to see what was being displayed in the top bar once unity was initialized; clicking the blank area where indicators would have been returned `WM_CLASS: not found`
- ran most system testing suites. After reboot test, and resuming checkbox, terminal displayed the following:
app_id : "com.canonical.

**I am not sure if this is a unity bug crashing compiz, or compiz interfering with unity.**
