Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Using natty with all updates.
Whenever I open a window in Unity, the menu bar becomes partially or fully blank (though the notification area remains as normal). This occurs with almost every app. But I am sure that the menu bar is there, because if I click at that area, menus come as normal, but the bar still remains blank.
I have also noticed a rhythm in how they become blank; When I start gnome-terminal, it becomes partially blank, however if I open a tab in the terminal (using either the menu or the keyboard shortcut), the menu bar comes back. If I switch the tab back to the first one in gnome-terminal, the bar becomes blank (partially or fully) once again.
Attached are some screenshots.

could you kill gnome-panel(and stop it from respawn), logout and login again and see if that solves the problem happens again
$ cd /usr/bin ;sudo mv gnome-panel gnome-pa
