[Bug 1284496] Re: Booting the Ubuntu GNOME live DE from the advanced boot menu results in a largely unusable DE

[Tim]

I can confirm that the gnome-shell live session is completely broken,
pretty much all widget calculations seem off, when the "half" gear is
showing. I have no idea where that is coming from, its surely not GNOME.

strangely it also appears on the "Try Ubuntu" screen, however doesn't
seem to break anything there, although there do appear to be some top
panel icons missing. No idea if that is related though.

Title:
  Booting the Ubuntu GNOME live DE from the advanced boot menu results
  in a largely unusable DE

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've not been able to cross-test this against any other flavor ATM,
  but if you boot Ubuntu GNOME 20140225 i386 and enter the advanced boot
  menu, and then select Try Ubuntu you get what appears to be a wrong
  resolution, but the resoltion is correct.

  It appears that some notification is trying to appear as indicated by
  the "half gear" in the lower left corner of the screen, please see
  attached screenshot (I hope).
