Bug Description
Sometimes, I am affected by bug 808962 where unity always stays on top of my windows. This is very annoying. In an attempt to workaround this, I opened ccsm and disabled & re-enabled Unity (unchecked and then rechecked the compiz plugin).
After doing this, I end up with a purple bar on the side of my screen that does not redraw, and is still above all windows. I do not have to experience bug 808962 first for this to happen. It seems like it's an issue after disabling & re-enabling it.
Sometimes, the unity bar at the top does not redraw correctly either.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open ccsm
2. Disable Unity
3. Re-enable Unity
I am running natty on a Thinkpad T410 with the nvidia-proprietary drivers installed through synaptic.
