This is a good point unity upgrades were messy when it comes to the
home folder, from memory the folders I had to delete (back it up
first!) was something like:
~/.config/compiz-1/
~/.gconf/
One way to test if this is an issue is to long in as a different user
and see if you have the same problems.
