OK, I think I've got a cause, but not a solution as yet.
I've just installed 13.04 onto a new partition, with a new, seperate /home -
I'll call it Temp-home(TH) to save typing
On previous installs of Ubuntu, I use an existing seperate /home, I'll call it
PH to save typing.
When 13.04 starts
OK, Unity / status bar problem resolved in both 12.10 and 13.04
Solution:-
From 12.10(gnome-panel) copied all files from TH to PH, and re-booted.
Unity/status bar are back on both 13.04 and 12.10.
Got some tuning to do on 13.04, currently using X.Org X server driver, but all
looking good so far
Update:-
Three Ubuntu builds
1) 12.04 Working fine except Evolution which has been updated in 12.10 and is
not backwards compatible.
2) 12.10, updated from a 12.04 build.
3) 12.10 Clean install from .iso
Neither 12.10 builds have a working unity/ task bar. Task bar only visable when
gnome-panel
Terry, the 12.10 Clean install from .iso is the most interesting one.
How did you install fglrx on there?

On the clean install:-
1) From the desktop, no Unity / task bar, ctrl/alt/f1 to login and install
gnome-panel synaptic. Would not let me install fglrx as part of another
package
2) Restarted lightdm in gnome-panel.
3) Using synaptic, installed all updates, which included a refresh of

Title:
12.10 New build. No unity or time bar
To manage
@Robert: this is not really a Unity problem. The user is trying to use
fglrx/Catalyst and it is not installed properly, so there's no 3D
acceleration available. Normally, Unity falls back to software 3D
(llvmpipe) in such a case, but llvmpipe (or any open-source 3D driver)
will not work correctly
Hi,
Thanks for your quick response. Would have checked things out quicker but life
gets in the way sometimes.
Would have thouth linux-headers-generic would have been installed as part of
the build from the iso?
Checked through synaptic. linux-headers generic not installed so installed and
Try reinstalling fglrx package now that headers are installed
sudo apt-get purge fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle
sudo apt-get install fglrx
Then, reboot.

switching over to another driver in #4 above.
Re-installed via synaptic and re-booted.
No good
Purged fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle fglrx and installed
So when you run 'sudo apt-get install fglrx' via the command line, does
it report a build error?

It looks like you might have tried to install the legacy driver and
there is leftover cruft from it.

fglrx kernel module didn't build. Do you have linux-headers-generic
