I booted my PC this morning and I didn't have the problem! Of course I
didn't leave it like that but decided to fiddle with it. So, I went into
CCSM and re-enabled 'Animations' and 'Fading Windows' and the problem
re-emerged. I logged out and in again, but still have the problem.

Title:
  Ubuntu 13.04 Unity desktop background smears when dragging windows

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In the last week I have found that my desktop background is not
  refreshed when I drag windows across the screen. This also happens
  when windows are minimised or closed. It is especially noticeable when
  compiz animations are used as the window shrink/blur remains on areas
  of the screen where only the background shows. It has been reported on
  AskUbuntu with the title of 'Unity desktop "smears" (doesn't refresh)
  and shows no wallpaper' and one contributor says it doesn't happen
  with Cinnamon (though their post was deleted as not being an answer,
  as was mine). My wallpaper does not show either, even after I changed
  it, and it used to.

  My hardware it AMD A10-5700 with 7660D graphics on Ubuntu 13.04 with
  latest updates. I am using the fglrx-updates driver.

  Others (on AskUbuntu) tried different graphics drivers but it didn't
  help. I have not tried with 13.10.

  Screen shot attached.

  Thanks.
