@Daniel: it's already doing that, the issue here is diferent.
@Thomas: unity --reset works in a tty (even doing the export DISPLAY that
Daniel is talking about). However, it doesn't work if your session is so broken
that even the gconf daemon is not running. This is only the case if you didn't
try log in with lightdm or in a gnome-session.
Consequently, this is really an edge case that I don't think we should tackle
(we could use the --direct option to gconf maybe though), especially that it
will get removed next cycle with the gsettings transition. If someone wants to
tackle it, they are welcome, but I think we have bigger concerns too address in
the precise release cycle remaining time.
