This bug continues in 15.04. Desktop is apparently never redrawn, so
when I close or minimise a window, it leaves behind ghosts of the
animation as it minimises.

Title:
  Desktop/wallpaper flickers dreadfully

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since 14.10 the only way to use the system is with apps full-screen,
  because the background/desktop is constantly flickering. If you close
  a window, it leaves flickering ghosts of itself, like a nightmare. See
  enclosed ogv file for an example.
