Bug Description
This problem appeared after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a video in Totem or in VLC
- Activate the dash
The part of the dash which overlaps the video is flickering (repeatedly becoming fully transparent for a fraction of a second). It doesn't matter whether the video is playing or paused. The problem remains even when the video window is hidden behind other windows.
