Comment 35 for bug 868889

Switching to Unity 2D does not *fix* this problem.

It merely avoids it.

I also worked around this out in Natty, by restarting the xserver after each initial login, but that trick doesn't work with Oneric.

Also, this bug has gotten much worse for me.

The screen will absolutely not update unless a click of some kind is made on a window's title bar or another window. Rotating the cube also works and shows a glitch, replicating the current screen on all sides for a split second.

This makes menus impossible to use since you never know what you're clicking (the buttons only appear after clicking somewhere in the invisible menu).

This makes the desktop useless as well.

Unity 2D & Metacity still function but can't make up for the features of compiz+unity
