I believe the problem is that you are using VNC. It has nothing to
do with LXC, per se.
Please see the following post (and replies) where the user had the
same symptom as you:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/160160/unity-launcher-doesnt-appear-in-vnc-session
There may be better solutions available on Launchpad.

Are you accessing the "host" desktop using VNC? Or are you
plugging in a keyboard and monitor?

I've been using Ubuntu 12.10 for a couple months and one more problem
I've had
recently was with trying to install an Ubuntu "desktop" in an LXC
container.
I should mention that my host machine used Unity.
Maybe this is just affecting me but I thought I'd ask if anyone else
has had this problem.
I do the following:
* sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n mycontainer
* sudo lxc-start -n my container
when its started I log into the container using ubuntu:ubuntu and do
the following
* sudo apt-get update
* sudo apt-get upgrade
* sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
After it completes I reboot the container and use one of several
methods to
log into the new container's Ubuntu desktop (vnc, x2go etc).
I've now done this a couple times just to verify I hadn't done
something stupid
but each time I log in I see the normal Ubuntu desktop EXCEPT there
is no Launcher on the left or Menu bar at the top ??
I did do some google searches and it appears there are quite a few people
reporting something similar to this with their regular Ubuntu system
desktops
(re non-LXC) but my "host" Ubuntu 12.10 desktop works correctly.
Has anyone else had this problem creating an Ubuntu Unity desktop inside
an LXC container on Ubuntu 12.10.
