The bug was reproducible yesterday and was experienced previously.

Today, after booting from last night's shutdown, the problem is no
longer manifesting itself.

Note that Unity has been removed in favour of Gnome3 as per the
following procedure:

sudo apt-get install gdm3
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get remove unity
sudo apt-get remove lightdm
sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop

Docky is now the launcher.

Hope this helps.
