2012-03-26 18:19:39 Dimitris Kogias description When logging into an "Ubuntu" (compiz/unity) session, I get heavy flickering whenever new windows are created or when windows are moved on screen. I also get a dark band that gradually appears under the top panel and gradually obscures any content under it. The attached video shows these symptoms. This is all on a Thinkpad X60. These symptoms are not present - everything seems to display properly - when logging into a "Ubuntu 2D" (metacity/unity) session.
