Bug Description
[Impact]
After login, it's very possible the screen will appear corrupted and show artifacts of a previous session. This is a security and privacy concern.
[Test Case]
Simple as logging in several times. It's highly reproducable (over 50% in my tests).
[Regression Potential]
Seems low. We had this same patch in 12.04, but it got accidentally dropped for 12.10.
[Original Report]
With the latest updates im getting corrupted graphics - images after the login until the unity launcher - desktop appears and this is happening in every system restart - relogin.
Im attaching a screenshot of what im getting , it looks like its a combination of corrupted images from the windows that was running while i was doing the latest updates , my last session before the problem.
