    • wrote a gnome-session patch to avoid launching gnome-panel and a window manager from a saved session in the UNE session
    • mutter/unity: hack to get if 3D driver are available or not. If not, prompt and exit the session setting the default on to GNOME (case of autologin and livecd)
    • some fixes to the migration with weird pathname and ubiquity being duplicated in the launcher
    • lots and lots of bug triaging in both unity (package) and unity (upstream) tasks, talk with dx team to hilight them what's the most important bugs are.
