Bug Description

Restarting Unity no longer works properly in Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet.

Steps to reproduce: press ALT + F2, type Unity and press ENTER.

What should occur: Unity should be restarted without logging out the user.

What actually occurs: the LightDM login screen greeter shows up (so the user is logged out) instead of just restarting Unity.

As Unity's performance tends to severely diminish over time (sometimes a few hours, sometimes a day or two, in my experience), it is actually necessary to restart Unity, so this bug makes Unity close to unusable for extended sessions.
