Just realized I needed to add that I am not using proprietary drivers.
ATi Radeon HD 5750, using identical Dell S2440L monitors using identical
HDMI cables.  I tried to use the proprietary drivers but the problem
remained, although with some improvement.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  After login, it's very possible the screen will appear corrupted and show artifacts of a previous session.  This is a security and privacy concern.

  [Test Case]
  Simple as logging in several times.  It's highly reproducable (over 50% in my tests).

  [Regression Potential]
  Seems low.  We had this same patch in 12.04, but it got accidentally dropped for 12.10.

  [Original Report]
  With the latest updates im getting corrupted graphics - images after the login  until the unity launcher  - desktop appears  and this is happening in every system restart - relogin.

  Im attaching a screenshot of what im getting , it looks like its a
  combination  of corrupted images from the windows that was running
  while i was doing the latest updates , my  last session before the
  problem.
