apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected precise third-party-packages ubuntu

** Description changed:

  Looks like every redraw anywhere on screen causes Compiz to clear and
  redraw the whole screen, so if I close everything the flickering will be
  triggered each second, because of the clock which updates every second
  
  Tried disabling all additional plugins (got plugins-extra and -unsupported package installed) - no effect.
  Tried changing workaround options, turning all of them on and off - no effect.
  Purged xorg edgers PPA (although I am on Intel GMA HD4500 and it never made problems) - no effect.
  
  Even removing Unity and starting just with Compiz does not make the flicker disappear, so I am quite sure the problem has something to do with the most recent Compiz update on Precise 12.04.
  The previous Compiz version was working without any flickering.
  
  Unity-2d works without any problems.
