Fie, part two.
Ubuntu 11.10, and I'm merrily typing along in a text editor.
Without warning, the unity launcher disappears. So does the topbar. The text editor still works, but I have no desktop except for the background image. Try resetting Unity and Compiz and relogging, nada.
Unity comes up fine in a guest account, so I blow away the first user and recreate it, and Unity is back (yes, I spent about an hour and a half trying various troubleshooting steps before blowing the user away). FYI, posting this from Ubuntu 11.10 under that resurrected user.
I'm leaning towards renaming Oneiric Ocelot as Obnoxious Ocelot instead. Some things do work better than before, but I'm not at all sure how stable it is.
And I still need to set the swap partition up from last night. Fie.
EDIT: Swap file was pretty painless; done. The problem would seem to have been with the way the manual partitioner on the install CD handles multiple data partitions and a swap partition on the same drive.
