I verified this on an old, slow machine where the described phenomenon
was more easily observed and it indeed no longer occurs.  There is still
a whole-screen flicker as Compiz starts up but that's an unrelated
issue.

Title:
  Unity Launcher always assumes default background is active for a
  couple of seconds

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [IMPACT]

  Every time the computer boots and autologins to my desktop, I see the
  default background only behind the Unity Launcher for a couple of
  seconds, and then it is replaced with the current wallpaper.

  [TEST CASE]

  (1) Configure the desktop to use a non-default wallpaper.
  (2) Log in to a Unity session and observe the area behind the Launcher.

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]

  The solution to this problem was to eliminate the animation of the BFB
  icon on initial startup.  Potentially this could cause the animation
  to not run at other times, although even if this did occur, it is
  unlikely to be noticed.

  [OTHER INFO]

  The fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid
  Vervet" dev release where it has been in production use for some time
  without apparent regression.
