Now , yay! back to a reloading unity as i reported initially! ;-)

Looks like either the mesa update fixed the constant white screen or maybe it was the clutter update.

"mutter --replace" just works fine works and no need to use CLUTTER_VBLANK=none mutter --replace .

Its only unity that is broken now [again]. seems like the disable-effects flag requirement is the one that remains as mentioned in comment #64 and what neil mentioned a couple of days ago.
<njpatel> vish, yep, we got stalled on a workaround, I pinged the team for that this morning, hopefully we'll have an answer soon. Sorry it's taken so long, but it's harder to switch stuff off than switch it on it seems :)

Attaching today's xsession-errors.
