Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. It looks like the trouble is due to two applets not working properly (the black boxes with the red symbol inside), which appear to be the indicator-applet-session applet and something else (not sure what the one on the left is). Could you please let us know if clicking those icons has any effect?

When there isn't corruption, clicking on the first icon makes to appear a menu with the "Preferences", "About" and "Take a break now" options. Clicking on the second opens Empathy.

When there's corruption, I don't know for sure since I don't know how to reproduce the bug, which happens time to time. When it happens again, I'll try.

One important aspect is the first icon appeared two times in the bar only when I tried moving all the elements looking for the shut-down button, which I couldn't found and was supposed to be in "fast_user_switch_screen0", exactly where the corruption takes place every time.

Well, the bug happened again in the same way and now can be said that buttons can be used normally; but the first one disappeared after some time.
