Title:
  Unity and desktop effects are extremely slow, some windows don't show
  on Alt+Tab-ing.

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I noticed that operations like switching windows were taking an
  extremely long time, and opacity fade in is taking 10s to a minute or
  more. I quit Netbeans and Firefox, though they didn't seem to be
  loading the system down too badly. Still going slow. I also noticed
  none of the dropdowns from the Ubuntu status icons in upper right
  work.

  I open Firefox again, and it slowly fades in, and works, but alt-tab
  doesn't show it as available - though it is right on the (only)
  screen. It seems now any window that is called up takes a loong time
  to go from transparent to visible.

  About this time I also saw that Nemiver debugger icon jumped up and
  wiggled - like it was alerting about process needing to be debugged?

  I'm still seeing this problem although no high-cpu processes are
  happening. At the same time this started I also noticed that searching
  in the dash was breaking - "update" couldn't even find update manager.
