Title:
  Unity GUI elements behind all other windows

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

Bug description:
  Description:
  At random and often after I dock/undock my Lenovo W510 but sometimes when I have not un-docked at all; all of the Unity GUI has jumped behind open windows, so the dash, the HUD and the menu when right clicking on a launcher icon aren't usable.

  Steps to recreate:
  I don't know, sorry.

  What I expected:
  Unity to stay on top.

  What happened:
  Unity fell behind everything.

  Timeline:
  I can't pin it down.

  Analysis:
  Probably something to do with nVidia.
