So right now we have a broken dash, HUD, indicators, launcher, global 
menu and lightdm, I took a few videos and filed a few bugs.

Lightdm doesn't work

HUD doesn't work

Dash doesn't work

Global menus and indicators don't work
https://bugs.launchpad.net/dbusmenu/+bug/949370

Launcher doesn't work
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/949448

and finally one bonus bug that isn't in the videos is that the shortcuts 
overlay doesn't work

I would really appreciate it if these things could be made broadly 
functional so that we can do some useful testing and fixing of the 
details. Right now there is no polishing that can be done to make it 
work better because it simply does not work at all. What I *really* want 
is for some basic testing to be done pre-landing of this code. A Beta 
would not go out of the door with this much broken for sighted users.
