Bug Description
I upgraded in the last day or so, and a previously solid Ubuntu 12.04 install, has gone down hill fast.
If I am using an application (for example chrome as I write this) everything is fine.
If I try and use anything involving unity (the dash, the global menu, the app switcher) I get lots of flickering. With dash, you can see chunks of the application underneath flickering, and as best I can tell, this is the same for the launcher and the global menu.
I'm not really sure where to start in terms of debug for this. Except to say I am using a Samsung NC10 which has the following graphics controller:
unity:
Installed: 5.8.0-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 5.8.0-0ubuntu1
Version table:

Also affecting me following update at 8pm GMT 23.03.2012
Launcher flickers as mouse pointer crosses it and carries on until application starts
Dash flickers again as pointer hovers over it
