Public bug reported: My desktop seems pretty stable but i can readily crash it.
Steps to reproduce (on my system) try to click and drag icon in the unity launcher (attempting to reorder icons). first the unity launcher dock starts to flicker and shortly after the entire desktop flickers between a black screen and the desktop screen. This is followed but the display jumping around and often graphical corruption. The mouse pointer can be moved around fine as normal - but you cannot click on anything. At this point i need to reboot the system. I have also had the above happen when trying to install programs through software centre. As of now i am unsure if this is a bug with X or a bug with unity and im not sure where i should be looking to find logs or any indication of the source of the issue. Im willing to report debug info it anyone can tell me what i should be looking for.
