Title:
  Machines that run 24x7 eventually lose their Unity 3d launcher bar

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hello,

  Machines that are never turned off eventually hit an issue where the
  launcher bar condenses itself to the top few pixels of the launcher
  bar.  The only way to get it back is a reboot.

  I have observed this to happen on several different machines, all
  running Unity 3d.  I don't know if this affects Unity 2d or not.  It
  is still possible to launch apps with the Meta-key, and to switch
  between them with Alt+Tab when this issue is happening, but the bar
  itself is rendered useless, it won't respond to any combination of
  keystrokes or mouse-clicks that I've tried.

  You can see the problem in the attached screenshot.  I also still have
  the machine running with the bug, so it can be used for diagnostics or
  to test any workarounds.
