The screenshot you sent me looks like a really old version of g-p-m.

I wonder if something hasn't been updated during your upgrades from
dapper->edgy->feisty.

Can you just check ubuntu-desktop (and dependants) are installed
correctly:-

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

It will either just say it's already there, or it will pull in a bunch
of stuff that was missing. Can you also check your /etc/apt-sources.list
has all the necessary repos specified? Make it look a bit like what you
see in http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/295

Cheers,
Al.
