IlarioGelmetti, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.

+ Did this problem not occur in a release prior to Trusty?

+ As a potential WORKAROUND, is this reproducible with the nvidia drivers as outlined in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ?

Here I am, I'm still on Trusty but I downgraded both xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and libdrm-nouveau2 to Saucy. These bunch of log files are referred to this situation, after downgrade. Now the dash seems ok, no glitches. With proprietary drivers no glitches too.

I'm sorry, but the last group of uploaded logs was there to say that I was wrong: downgrading didn't solve. Now when I click on dash at first I can see some glitches, then the interface stops to be responsive. Now I'm going to install a fresh Saucy.

IlarioGelmetti, thank you for your comment. For regression testing purposes, could you please test the Precise 3.2.x series kernel via http://releases.ubuntu.com/ and advise if this is reproducible?

Ok, how I installed Ubuntu 12.04.3. I can't see any problem using proprietary drivers (304) and I can see glitches in dash using nouveau. Should I do an apport-collect while using nouveau?

IlarioGelmetti, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem through the appropriate channel by following the instructions _verbatim_ at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ ?

Please provide a direct URL to your bug report once you have made it so that it may be tracked.

Thank you for your understanding.

Corrections to my previous post: installing 12.04.3 I got kernel 3.8, not 3.2, so I saw glitches in 12.04.3 with 3.8.
Now I installed a 12.04.0 then after a dist-upgrade I got kernel 3.2-58. I installed also images for 3.5.0-45, 3.8.0-35 and 3.11.0-15.
Using each of these kernels I can't see glitches in dash but I experience instabilities in xorg when using glmark2 or sometimes even using glxgears -fullscreen.
I checked the video card for defects using winxp + nvidia drivers + furmark and seems all ok.
I'll try to ask to freedesktop team, is this a problem in the 2D driver or in the 3D/OpenGL driver Mesa?
Thanks for your help.
