Bug Description

Hi,

I think this is a Unity bug, but I'm not really sure (could also be related to Chrome). It seems to have something to do with the launcher. Sometimes I get these small rectangles on the top of the screen, which don't go away, until I log out and log back in again.

I just had the same problem, but now with a really big rectangle. See the screenshot attached.

Killing compiz (which will also relaunch it) removes the white rectangle, so it's probably a Unity/Compiz bug.
