I found a clue about the blinking with unity 6.0, nux 3.0, and compiz
0.9.8 in Precise

First, I tried making a new user to see if the desktop was affected.
It wasn't, but I noticed another problem: windows cannot full-screen.
I tested firefox (f11) and totem (double click or f11).
Both applications freeze the current viewport and will not enter full-screen, but can be recovered by exiting full-screen.

Next, I started crawling through ccsm, trying each and every button.
In Desktop Cube -> Transparent Cube -> Opacity When Not Rotating:
The default value is 100%, at which Unity stops blinking and windows cannot full-screen.
At any value less than 100%, Unity will start blinking and windows can full-screen.

So, there's a connection between the blinking, cube opacity, and full-
screen.

Any idea what it might be?

Maybe this needs a new bug report.
