Hey Adam,

Sorry about those issues. There was a protobuf update uploaded 
yesterday, which included an unfortunate abi change, that got fixed today:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/protobuf/2.5.0-8ubuntu1

The buggy version had a missing symbol that was leading to compiz/unity 
not loading, which is probably the issue you describe. The issue is 
fixed in the archive so updating should give you back a working desktop 
environment.

Cheers,
