I have several accounts in my Ubuntu 14.04. Only for one of of them, after login, unity doesn't start. I can only see the desktop background and the mouse icon. I tried all the solutions in: Problems after upgrading to 14.04 (only background and pointer after login), but they don't work.

After trying some stuff on Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears, I ended up following Problems after upgrading to 14.04 (only background and pointer after login) (warning: it removed the installed programs and settings, but the files were still there):
To fix "username"'s account, if you can get into the login screen or somewhere like that press ctrl + alt + F3 to get to a terminal (tty). Log in with "username" and password.
Now rename the directory /home/[user_name]/.config/dconf to /home/[user_name]/.config/dconf.broken.
To do this, run
cd .config
sudo mv dconf dconf.broken
You might need to re-enter your password now. Finally reboot:
reboot
