Bug Description

[Test Case]
1. Make sure there are a few icons on the Launcher
2. Start dragging (changing the position) of the icons on the Launcher
   -> Make sure that the dragged icon looks normally, has no graphical issues and artifacts (see screenshots)
3. Repeat step 2 a few times

[Regression Potential]
Broken launcher icon textures, blank icons.

Original description:

Hi,
When dragging an icon on the Unity panel, some random broken text and other iocons from the launcher layer themselves on top of the icon I am dragging, like so:

Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6570 with ubuntu-packaged fglrx driver.
QUANTAL

----
Additional notes:
- Has been confirmed with open source radeon drivers (so this might not be fglrx related)
- Downgrading nux back to 3.8.0-0ubuntu1 seems to fix this issue (so this is a regression in nux 3.10.0-0ubuntu1)

I see similar corruption with the free radeon drivers (R600) so this may not be fglrx related.

Further testing reveals that the bug is not happening with nux 3.8.0-0ubuntu1 but after updating to nux 3.10.0-0ubuntu1 the corruption appears. So this is an SRU regression.

Hello Marco, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity into quantal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/6.10.0-0ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
