Bug description:
  WORKAROUND/FIX:
  unity --reset

  TEST CASE:
  Edit ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/%gconf.xml and add an entry BEFORE composite and opengl for a dummy plugin name that does not exist. Log out and in again.

  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  With Unity- and Compiz trunks I am seeing some odd flickering and corruption on the Unity UI elements. In particular:

   - Some reactangles of white tints flickering smoothly up an down on
  the launcher

   - The tooltip shadows grow smoothly (maybe taking 1s) to their full
  size

   - The panel/menubar drop shadow also seems to gradually repaint, also
  looking sort of animated

  Attaching a screencast to illustrate. The screncast didn't very well
  capture how white tints on the launcher, but you can glimpse hints of
  it. Otherwise the tooltip shadows and panel drop shadow animation is
  very clear.

  My graphics card is Sandy Bridge.
