Comment 6 for bug 737320

The problem I have been trying to solve is I don't get the Unity left-side
dock, etc. and when I tried the unity --reset command it failed - which I
reported.

Here is the result of doing both in terminal:

jjl@jjl-VirtualBox:~$ 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()"
<GConfValue at 0x84a2e50>
unity
jjl@jjl-VirtualBox:~$ unity --reset
WARNING: Unity currently default profile, so switching to metacity while

I don't understand the "unity-panel-service" being missing but the "Fatal"
message is the "GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap" is missing.

This report was combined by someone with more familiarity (not difficult to
find!) so I can only assume it is part of the string problem.

I hope this helps.
