Hi Colin, I did the unity --reset to start when my desktop disappeared, 
but its the first I have seen about having to do it after........problem 
is, I just pressed buttons when it came to the conflicts almost all of 
them, I have no idea what they even meant, so i couldnt tell what was 
conflicted with what......so posting bug reports would have been 
impossible for me, because I wouldnt have even known what was a bug or 
not.....
