Bug Description

Sometimes after suspending, the close, minimize, and maximize buttons are unclickable. When I mouse over them, the icons for those buttons tend to disappear and only show the name of the window I have open. I've tried:

metacity --replace

That does not load the launcher or panel.

I've also tried:

unity --replace

However, those commands only result in the screenshot I attached, which shows that the close, minimize, and maximize buttons are frozen and still unclickable.

Restarting my computer fixes the issue, but being unable to suspend my laptop is unacceptable.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS.

I have a Thinkpad T430 with the following specs:
Intel Core i5-3320M
16GB RAM
NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [NVS 5400M] (rev ff)

This bug also occurs on my System76 PanP7 laptop, which has the following specs:
Core i7-620M Processor
8GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570

I am using unity package 5.18.0-0ubuntu2.

Thank you!

Logging out and back in again makes the top left buttons work again.
