Install unity 3.8.16 from natty-proposed 2. Remove gnome-icon-theme (or move it away from /usr/share/icons/ temporarily) 3. Restart unity (compiz --replace) 4. Unity should start without hanging. === ii unity 3.8.14-0ubuntu2 Installing the latest Unity package in Oneiric leaves me with compiz pegged at 100% CPU. Digging further, I see the following message repeated in a loop: ** (<unknown>:2908): WARNING **: bool IconLoader::ProcessGIconTask(IconLoader::IconLoaderTask*): Unable to load icon text-x-preview at size 48 The icon theme is set to ubuntu-mono-dark, and indeed the ubuntu-mono package does not have a text-x-preview icon; however, switching to an icon theme where this is present, like Humanity, does not resolve the issue. For what it's worth, I also have the gnome3 PPA set.
