Comment 46 for bug 745996

I am affected as well by this bug. My system is an upgrade from 11.04 with the fglrx driver (though I don't think the gfx driver matters for this problem). A second account is running unity without problems. So far I have removed all config directories (.compiz* .gconf* .metacity .gnome2*; .drirc does not exist) that I can think of which may affect the observed behaviour, but so far no luck. Anything you want me to try? Does unity store its data somewhere else I didn't think of?

The main difference between the two accounts I can think of is that the working one never ran unity while the non-working one ran unity 11.04 once. Though this may as well be a red herring for this bug.

Activating the compiz/unity ppa also didn't help.
