Also I have the exact same GPU (Radeon HD 3450) running on a Pentium 4 AGP system. I get the same issue as reported in the screenshot.
Try the Fglrx driver. It should resolve the issue.

[Problem]
Bad corruption in the form of line noise shows up in both the launcher and dash in Unity, which appears to only occur on -ati with certain hardware (the HD 3450 at least). Unity developers indicate they believe this is corruption in -ati / mesa rather than in the compiz rendering code.

This is probably a 3D driver bug. Are you using r600c or r600g? Possibly related to bug 36442.

[I've marked this bug for inclusion in our oneiric bug queue. While technically this bug has not been re-confirmed against oneiric, I feel it is worth continued development attention. We will need to ask that it be re-confirmed once oneiric is further along, perhaps once we get closer to alpha.]

unlive, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
