Could you double-check that unity-applications-daemon and unity-files-daemon are running?

You can check that with this command:
ps aux | grep unity

It should return something like:
bilal 2354 0.0 0.8 34708 8608 ? Sl 07:30 0:02 /usr/bin/unity-window-decorator
bilal 2369 0.0 0.4 51696 4408 ? Sl 07:30 0:00 /usr/lib/unity-place-files/unity-files-daemon
bilal 2371 0.0 0.6 56740 6304 ? Sl 07:30 0:00 /usr/lib/unity-place-applications/unity-applications-daemon
bilal 4252 0.4 1.8 108780 18840 ? Sl 08:27 0:09 /usr/lib/unity/unity-panel-service
bilal 4813 0.0 0.0 4156 860 pts/1 S+ 09:03 0:00 grep --color=auto unity

In the above case on lines 2 and 3, both the daemon are running properly. Could you check whether this is the case with you? If not then a reboot would help. Thanks.
