I also suffer from nVidia Propitiatory drivers not drawing Unity Launcher until mouse over, this happens when you first wake up Ubuntu from Suspend, everything else is drawn correctly, just Unity doesn't receive it's redraw event on system wake or unlock screen when the video buffer has been emptied/nulled by sleep.

Full screen garble upon wake up Edit (808.3 KiB, image/jpeg)

I have this bug as well. Additionally, the whole screen is garbled until I type in my password and log back in after the computer wakes up. At that point the launcher is still garbled until I mouse over it.
