Paul this is a bug you are facing on your end only. It would be helpful if you can submit a bug report providing all your system info using apport. You can do this by pressing Alt+F2 and then typing ubuntu-bug unity.

The developers can then have a look at this.

I have that problem, too. But I doubt that this is a bug because unity starts normally logging in as a new created user on that machine.
Therefore I assume this to be a conflict of configurations (my home directory is older than compiz...). I tried to solve it by reconfiguring the compiz package and deleting the folders ~/.compiz-1, ~/.config/compiz-1, ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1 and ~/.gconf/apps/compizconfig-1 but it did not work for me.
Probably there are further configuration files/folders which I have overlooked. Any hints?

yes, conflict of configurations in ~/.config/* <-- change and unity are not taught to deal with it!

backup/remove in terminal (without unity)
.cache
.compiz
.compiz-1
.gconf
.config
.gnome2
.gnome2_private

when the new session will create a new ~/.config/, copy only setting programs and the unity reconfigured
