Comment 14 for bug 737320

for me unity is crashing on login, so I just see an empty desktop if I choose 'ubuntu' on the login screen. While in gnome I ran the code suggested

james@ace-garp:~$ python -c "import gconf; client = gconf.client_get_default(); current_profile_schema = client.get_schema('/apps/compizconfig-1/current_profile'); current_profile_gconfvalue = current_profile_schema.get_default_value(); print current_profile_gconfvalue; print current_profile_gconfvalue.get_string()"

unity

Happy to try other things if it helps, I'm on an Acer Aspire One D150 netbook if that helps at all.
