i have red its because of an extra X call being made causing the white boxes
so its not that deep afterall.

enough, this fix only covers unity, which of course begs the question -
isn't that a clear indication that the problem lies deeper than that,
perhaps in gtk/metacity/compis/dbusmenu itself? The *menubar* flickers when
new windows are opened, in fact, if you remove the "indicator applet
appmenu" from the gnome-panel, you can still see the flicker and menu
repainting itself in the application window (of say nautilus, that never
used to flicker like that) when new windows are spawned. Also, the drop
downs from the menubar (when scrubbing it) causes flicker (both with
indicator applet appmenu, and in-window menu).
