[Bug 1250872] Re: top status bar missing shutdown button, clock, more on upgrade to 13.10

I don't believe this is a duplicate of 1239710. The symptoms occur 100%
of the time and it's not just the shutdown button and clock that are
missing from the top status bar. It's everything. Dropbox and the
Network Manager appear only because I tried something found on a forum.
For a new user, nothing appears in the status bar.

Also, the fixes that worked for 1239710 do not work for me.

Title:
  top status bar missing shutdown button, clock, more on upgrade to
  13.10

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When the login window is displayed, the top status bar has  what it
  should - the gear icon, clock, etc. However, once I login it's blank.
  I tried something in the forums that did get the Dropbox and network
  manager icons back, but not the rest of the usual icons.

  mark at mark-desktop:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
  Release:	13.10

  I added a new user to test and the status bar for the new user is
  completely bank.

  If I let the session time out so that the screen locks and then move
  the mouse or type on the keyboard to bring the login window up, the
  status bar is correctly displayed. But after logging in it is gone
  again.

  I have both Python 2.7.5+ and 3.3.2+ installed:

  mark at mark-desktop:~$ which python
  /usr/bin/python
  mark at mark-desktop:~$ python
  Python 2.7.5+ (default, Sep 19 2013, 13:48:49) 

  mark at mark-desktop:~$ which python3
  /usr/bin/python3
  mark at mark-desktop:~$ python3
  Python 3.3.2+ (default, Oct  9 2013, 14:50:09) 

  The same environment worked just fine under 13.04.
