Bug Description
This is due to having improper settings in ~/.drirc. Deleting the file allows Unity to work correctly.
Original bug report:
-------
When running unity, I can open a terminal and launch applications that are displayed just fine. However, all the unity windows are invisible. I can't see the panel or launcher, for example, but I can still interact with them by clicking on them.
I have tried a package in didrocks' ppa that includes the stack attack hack, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

Seems to be an important invisible window case as Chase can still click on them and the X tree shows they are there.
The stackattack doesn't workaround it, so setting in the important list. Note it can be a painting issue with Nux as well
