[Bug 1127475] [NEW] I installed jre and unity won't work anymore

[Charles Ford]

Public bug reported:

Recent update to 12.10.
Libre Office was complaining about no jre, so I installed jre. 
After reboot, unity would show up and then disappear. No bar at the top and no sidebar. Keyboard shortcut wouldn't bring up terminal.
