Just realized that when I turned off host 3D acceleration, Unity is defaulting to Unity 2-D.
With Host 3D turned on: $ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p shows all 'yes': ~$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p OpenGL vendor string: Humper OpenGL renderer string: Chromium OpenGL version string: 2.1 Chromium 1.9 Not software rendered: yes Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program: yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object: yes GL version is 1.4+: yes Unity 3D supported: yes With Ubuntu guest additions uninstalled (via Jockey - Additional Hardware): OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11 Not software rendered: no Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: no GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program: yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object: yes GL version is 1.4+: yes Unity 3D supported: no With guest addition module installed via Jockey (still leaving Host 3D enabled): - virtualbox-guest-dkms 4.1.2-dfsg-1Ubuntu1 - virtualbox-guest-utils 4.1.2-dfsg-1Ubuntu1 - virtualbox-guest-x11 4.1.2-dfsg-1Ubuntu1 OpenGL vendor string: Humper OpenGL renderer string: Chromium OpenGL version string: 2.1 Chromium 1.9 Not software rendered: yes Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program: yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object: yes GL version is 1.4+: yes Unity 3D supported: yes And with that installed; symptoms are the same. So I purge those & try ony the vboxadditions_4.1.4_74291 guest additions again (after restart of course)... Same results. Top panel appears briefly with icons, then disappears (faint panel w/o icons appears) and no launcher bar. Added note: I was incorrect in my previous statement that Unit 3D was running fine on VMWare Player... VMWare Player doesn't handle OpenGL & is also resorting to Unity 2-D.
