This bug is affecting me, too.  Toshiba NB305 (UNE works great, btw,
thanks!)

A few points.

Please, keep in mind that I am a recent convert to ubuntu, although I am
quite familiar with the Unix environment.  Also, I have a co-worker who
is very familiar with Linux/Ubuntu, and he was helping me considerably.
Any technical questions can be answered, but they might require longer-
than-normal time.

I didn't experience this problem until I tried dragging the Appearances
icon (I know, I shouldn't have done this, but I realized that
afterwards) to the Launcher.  Unity immediately started exhibiting the
problems described by the OP.

We discovered that if you start the window manager from the command-line
everything works correctly.   However, when you start it from gdm it
returns to the bad behavior.

This is the command we used to restart:

mutter --display=:0.0 --replace&

Also, with it restarted and working, if you try to drag a new
application onto the launcher it breaks again in the same fashion.
Replacing the window manager again fixes it again, but the new icon is
not available.

Right now, it works.  Don't dare restart...I'm happy to help in any way,
just please have patience!
