Title:
  Dash is flickering when a video playback window is underneath it

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This problem appeared after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10.
  Steps to reproduce:
   - Open a video in Totem or in VLC
   - Activate the dash
  The part of the dash which overlaps the video is flickering (repeatedly becoming fully transparent for a fraction of a second). It doesn't matter whether the video is playing or paused. The problem remains even when the video window is hidden behind other windows.
