[Launchpad Bug Tracker <881656@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following is reproducible 100 % of the time in my desktop machine.
It doesn't seem to be specific to any graphic card. It seems to be
caused by Unity Launcher (read workaround).

When I switch to another workspace (does not matter if I open any window
on it) then return to previous workspaces, if there remains some
maximized window and then I unhide unity launcher by any mean (moving
the mouse pointer for example) a rectangular transparent "window"
appears at the same screen position than Unity launcher, and remains
even when Unity hides. See attached image.

In resume: open any window, maximize it, switch workspace, come back to
first workspace, show Unity by moving the mouse pointer to screen side,
the "rectangle" will appears.

Workaround: One option is to restart the session. Other is to restore
the maximized window and move it from left to right for a while, this
will cause launcher to unhide and hide again and the rectangular
"window" will disappear. Note: changing how launcher hides does not
solve anything, the rectangular "thing" is still there when I switch
workspaces as long as a maximized window is in the first workspace,
probably if one maximized window is in the second workspace the same
will happen but in the second workspace.

Ubuntu version: 11.10 (AMD64)
Session type: default
GPU: Intel GMA X4500
