Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
Ran "aptitude install unity".
Logged out, logged back in.
Tried unity.
Ran "aptitude remove unity".
Logged out, logged back in.
Got nothing but an entirely white screen and a mouse.
My login screen doesn't have any way to select a desktop interface, so I
assume it's still defaulting to unity while unity is not installed.
I noticed "aptitude remove unity" only removed the unity package, and
not the dependencies that got installed with it.
I was able to get a terminal with ctrl-alt-t, and run compiz and gnome-
panel, which gets me a mostly functional desktop. Only thing weird with
it so far is my tasks aren't showing up on the panel. And it failed
back to metacity instead of actually using compiz.
