Bug Description

At first I thought it is issue #755230 but that looks totally different.
Since today I have some graphical errors on the desktop.

While I activated the Gnome PPA I was displeased with the new Nautilus (no meaningful type-column, unintelligent & not resizable columns) I used PCmanFM for handling the desktop (as a side effect this fm is *much* faster).

I switched to PCmanFM by deactivating Nautilus handling the desktop with the gnome tweak tool. Then I added

pcmanfm --desktop

to the list of start programs.

Today I installed and tried other desktop environments (e17, lxde and xfce) via the default ubuntu sources (but these shouldn't affect unity).
I deactivaed PCmanFM again while the list of start programs is also executed on the other desktop environments and I also wanted to try the other file managers.
So I removed the pcmanfm start entry and switched on nautilus desktop handling for unity and gnome.

Since then I have the problem, that the desktop won't be redrawn properly.
I don't know wether this process is somehow relevant to this issue but I am pretty sure that this were all changes.

Every animation or window will be drawn on top what was drawn before.

I have a ASUS Zenbook U31A and Ubuntu 13.04 (amd64) with Intel Ivybridge.
Unity version is 7.0.0daily13.04.18~13.04-0ubuntu1.
