Issue still present, laptop has been reinstalled from scratch due to a failed upgrade to Quantal (PAE/non-PAE detection in syslinux).

Maybe is a problem related to the graphic hardware or driver (855GME gave me a lot of headaches). All other sessions work pretty fine: - Unity 2D works with both metacity and compiz - Gnome classic also works. The card does not support OpenGL 1.4 so Unity 3D fails back to Unity 2D. Actually this system has been upgraded and not reinstalled due to bug #930447, therefore I am planning to try a fresh install with a non-pae iso (Xubuntu, non-pae mini.iso, non-pae custom Ubuntu iso provided in the aforementioned bug thread).
