When I booted my laptop to ubuntu 13.04 today the panel and launcher were both missing from the screen and I had no idea how to get them back.
Using a ubuntu 13.04 install medium I formatted / and installed the system again leaving my /home intact.
When I logged in to my user account the problem persisted.
The unity-greeter is displayed perfectly fine and the guest account has no problems either.
I was eventually able to get the launcher and panel back by deleting .config/ .gconf/ .local/ and .cache/ but when I restarted my laptop the problem was back.
Do you have any suggestions for me? The last thing I tried earlier was unity --reset
but I got an error message telling me that it's deprecated.
