I am presented with the same issue that the one described here: no dash and no launcher upon login.
I am creating a new question though because the solution doesn't resolve the problem.
Note that I am able to login Ubuntu Flashback where everything is normal.

The first 3 lines should beBackend : gsettingsIntegration : true,Profile : unity. A Profile of Default would be wrong. So check that first. If profile is unity then try enablingOpenGl,Composite,Ubuntu unity pluginect. If profile isn't unity then go toPreferences > Profile, choose unity, then go back & enable mentioned plugins – doug Jan 12 '15 at 22:54
