Silviu, the workaround does stop the flickering, however it introduces a
different issue. After opening the unity launcher and closing it
dragging any window at the top of the screen near the launcher causes
bad tearing/glitching. Ubuntu/Unity 14.04 is pretty much unusable right
now on a nvidia 770 and 760 as the opensource drivers do not perform
well with these video cards.

Title:
  moving windows causes the top bar and the launcher bar to flicker

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As the title says, when I grab a window and move it around the top bar
  and the launcher disappear and then re-appear. Unity does not crash.
  During the move these elements flicker on and off. It looks more like
  a graphical glitch.

  This seems to have started after I got the packages that introduced
  the anti-aliased window corners.
