Public bug reported: Nothing but the wallpaper is visible after logging in. The Unity panel is gone, as is the top panel. I have enabled nVidia proprietary drivers. The only changes to the appearance settings that I have made are to enable wobbly windows and the static application switcher, and replace the Ambiance icon theme with the Faenza icons with gnome-tweak-tool.
Pressing Ctl-Alt-T does not open up a terminal, but I can right click on the desktop to change the wallpaper. In the wallpaper dialog, I notice that the window decorations are gone, so metacity is not running. Dropping into a terminal with Atl-F3 and typing in "sudo service lightdm restart" allows me to log in again, at which point the panels load normally and metacity is again active.
