Adding a one second delay t ostartup application (in my case pidgin) solved my issue, as per instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28685/how-can-i-delay-a-specific-program- on-startup

Now Unity is working properly, but I still have the Gnome Terminal in my startup applications (select system settings and it is "Startup Applications" under the "Personal" category. When I log in, the terminal starts as expected, but it has its own menu bar (i.e. not integrated with the unity panel) and it is placed flush with the top of the screen (i.e. with the window's title bar behind the top panel). Everything is fully functional, and I can use the ALT-click-drag combo to move it out of the way. If I close the terminal and start a new one, the menu is integrated into the unity panel and it opens in the right place (just below, not behind, the top panel). Again, everything is fully functional, it just appears that the app from the startup applications is not properly integrated into unity. I assume all this info was transmitted, but I am on Natty 11.04 beta, and all packages are up to date as of the time of this filing.
