Thanks. I've uploaded a fix which works for me to vivid's SRU queue. It
should be accepted into vivid-proposed soon.

Running ./unity --replace <params> on vivid (systemd) exits the session
and the login screen of lightdm appears. After log in, a new session
starts.
Steps:
1- build unity
2- run ./unity --replace with the env. variables and parameters you used on
utopic
3- see the lightdm login screen and login
