I had the same problem two week ago. I think it's related to the key shortcuts unity chooses, disabling the shortcuts solves the problem for me:
1 --> Switch to a virtual terminal (CTrl+Alt+F1) and log in. 2 --> type "DISPLAY=:0.0 ccsm" 3 --> Switch to ccsm (CTrl+Alt+F7 probably) 4 --> Disable the key shortcuts: "Key to execute a command", "Key to open the first panel menu" and others (see explanation in next extep). 5 --> Check "Enable Ubuntu Unity Plugin". If another hotkey is in conflict, a popup shows, read it and disble the correspondig hotkey. 5 --> Switch to a virtual terminal (CTrl+Alt+F1) 6 --> Restart lightdm typing "sudo service lightdm restart", choose unity 3D and check if it is working. Hope it helps. (I don have access to my ubuntu pc, I don't recall all the plugins that need to be disbled in order to get unity to work and some steps may be wrong, I will update this asap).
