I did some more playing around with this and I found my GDMSESSION
variable is set to "default". If I add:
export GDMSESSION="$DESKTOP_SESSION"
if [ "$GDMSESSION" = "default" ] ; then
export GDMSESSION=gnome
fi
then Unity will start correctly. It doesn't seem to cause any problems if the
session type is changed prior to login either.
I'm not sure why just 'export GDMSESSION="$DESKTOP_SESSION"' doesn't work for
me, but I've tested this over several 11.04 x86_64 installs now using a clean
(no data/config in the $HOME directory) account.
