Saw a bunch of at-spi2 errors in .xsession-errors. Reinstalled at-
spi2-core, and those errors went away. Still no desktop. Deleting
.config/dconf/user did the trick.

So to be clear: my desktop is still utterly broken, but the one on an
installer disc for the same version is not. Hopefully there is a simple
configuration problem. I haven't done anything very special, I thought.

Bugs,
After some searching, I found a comment suggesting that resetting my ATI
graphics driver using aticonfig --initial might help. I did that, and
now I get slightly further.
Now when I log in I get the basic file management functionality on the
desktop: icons and a context menu. But no Unity
A piece of good news: I did get a working desktop when booting from the
14.10 installer, for the same architecture.
