Bug Description

After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04 I noticed that dragging an icon from Desktop or from a Nautilus window now looks quite strange.
In both cases the image under cursor, which represents the icon being dragged, has no transparency and includes a piece of the background, on which the original icon is located, and the dragged icon itself appears to be somewhat corrupted. I've attached 2 screenshots, which demonstrate the issue.

When searching for the solution for this issue, I found the following question on askubuntu, which seems to describe the same problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/906452/graphical-glitch-in-nautilus-when-dragging-icons . Unfortunately, the question is unanswered and there are no mentions of a bug report, so I decided to go ahead and submit one myself.

I am on a laptop running Ubuntu 17.04 with switchable graphics. NVidia driver v.375.66 is installed. The problem reproduces regardless of which graphics card is selected via nvidia-prime.

Here's my output from `lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'` command:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b)
 Subsystem: Dell Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller
 Kernel driver in use: i915
 Kernel modules: i915
--
08:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/810M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] (rev a1)
 Subsystem: Dell GeForce 820M
 Kernel driver in use: nvidia
 Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_375_drm, nvidia_375

`apt list nautilus` gives the following output:

Listing... Done
nautilus/zesty,now 1:3.20.4-0ubuntu2 amd64 [installed]
