I don't know what was updated in the last Ubuntu update--maybe OpenGL or the X server--but after rebooting my Unity desktop comes up with a blank, gray screen. Clicking on a menu item makes the screen flash for a second. A Gnome Shell environment will boot, but there are display issues: clicking on some items in the dock turns the screen blue.
Gnome Classic won't boot, but Gnome Classic without effects will show properly.
