Like ToM, I have a GeForce FX 5200, and I experience this bug with the nouveau driver. The machine is a Dell Dimension 4600 with a fully updated installation of Natty i386, running unity 3.8.10-0ubuntu2, compiz 1:0.9.4+bzr20110415-0ubuntu2, and xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110107+b795ca6e-0ubuntu7. I am able to install the Nvidia proprietary 173.14.30 driver (with the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.30-pkg1.run package) but it does not work properly--the GDM login screen displays correctly, but once I log in only the desktop background displays correctly--icons and windows flash on and off the screen, and the Unity launcher does not appear at all.
