Bug Description
On logging in I see just the wallpaper with no top panel and no launcher.
Note that this is not bug #1066764 (Unity fails to load on old hardware (compiz enabling LLVMpipe has no effect and Mesa tries to use hardware still)) as compiz is at 1:0.9.9~
.xsessionerrors only contains
Script for cjkv started at run_im.
Script for default started at run_im.
The graphics is an intel 865 chipset.
Xorg.0.log attached

I suspect this is because the Unity hardware detection (and subsequent fallback to software rendering) was removed from Compiz and added as a session startup script in Nux but the entire change has not made it through the distro landing process.
I'm going to suggest waiting a couple of days for the next Nux release into Saucy and test again.
