[ubuntu-za] Buttons on 12.10

[Chris Schoonbee]

Try this: (You will temporarily lose your Unity launchbar customisations 
etc)
Log in as the broken user
Then type in the following commands from the terminal (not the $ - that 
is just to show you type at the prompt)
$ cd ~/.config/dconf
$ mv user user.broken

Then log out and log in again. (No need to restart the computer).
See if that solves the problem.
If it does, you can either recustomise Unity manually or else you are 
going to have to try to see what exactly was broken.
