In addition to which I'd recommend using the following command to make 
sure you have all the necessary bits installed.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^

Sometimes during the development release odd things happen and the 
ubuntu-desktop or other critical packages can get removed temporarily. 
The above command will (re-)install anything that _should_ be installed 
on the desktop system.

Surprising how often this command 'magically' fixes stuff.

Cheers,
Al.
