Bug Description
Every time I open that Ubuntu search thing computer starts to lag. Sometimes blurred backdrop disappears, sometimes other random controls turn green (that is, solid rectangle instead of graphics). Computer even completely froze once.
The video adapter is GeForce 8400 GS. Desktop resolution is 1920x1200. I've got an impression that this didn't occur with previous, much smaller screen (the PC is at work, and that monitor got replaced soon after I started to work there). So this might be caused by lack of resources or something.
For instance, Workspace Switched doesn't cause anything, even though it's probably graphics intense, too (tossing 8 full HD images of desktops around, after all)
If I do `tail -f /var/log/syslog', I notice that nouveau spits a lot of errors.
Here is excerpt from the log (the full log is attached):

Disabling background blur with Unity Tweak Tool "fixes" this problem.
