Bug description:
[Impact]
Killing compiz repeatedly doesn't make unity to reload all the times.
This is caused by the fact that due to a regression unity7 is not
loaded anymore by upstart (but by gnome-session) and thus it seems
that sometimes it doesn't properly gets restarted.
This is also a security issue, because if the session was locked, and
unity is not reloaded the session won't be locked anymore.
[Test Case]
From a terminal run killall -9 compiz multiple times, it should always
reload, but it fails after a couple of times.
[Regression Potential]
The fix is about always making unity to be launched by upstart.
Regression potential is low, since upstart is now used by most ubuntu desktop
applications, and it ensures compiz will run properly anyway.
