Title:
  Unity 3D causes video apps to malfunction

  Expired

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I am getting very weird behavior:
    - starting XBMC results in XBMC maxing out one of my cores and the XBMC UI is unresponsive (updates once in several seconds, at best)
    - if XBMC started normally, toggling fullscreen/window mode will make it exhibit the above behavior
    - after toggling fullscreen/window the screen/window will sometime contain garbage
    - TV-MAXE, uses VLC as backend, works normally while not in fullscreen. When I switch it to fullscreen I get a blank screen or a static video frame.
    - totem works normally while not in fullscreen. When I switch it to fullscreen I get a blank screen or a static video frame (usually the video frame is in the top left corner, unresized, and the rest of the screen is blank).

  This has been happening from the start on Oneiric with unity and
  nvidia proprietary drivers from the stock versions up to unity 5.0.0
  and nvidia drivers 295.20.

  All these apps function properly under Gnome Shell and Unity 2D.
  I have run out of ideas on what I can do/try to be able to use Unity 3D and these apps together.

  I think there's a good chance this bug might be present in the current development version of unity in precise and would hate it if Precise would be released with this bug still present.
