It would be useful to at least someone says is it 100% problem to drivers or to Unity.

Still no improvemt with the black launcher on my machine with Natty Narwhal and a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 card. The panel is still black, yet transparent with an application running under it. The programs are clickable and popups are showing up (see image).

@BlouBlou I have no official affiliation with Canonical, nor any special status in any of the projects/packages affected by this bug, but due to my familiarity with the relevant policies, I can answer your question. This is clearly a very serious bug, preventing many users of Nvidia cards from using Unity. It has been rated High in Unity and Critical in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau.

I just updated Ubuntu and logged back into the unity desktop (i've been using Unity 2D because of this bug) but now when logging back into Ubuntu desktop my Icons show up in he launcher which is great but now I have noticed that the Launcher wont dodge windows anymore and open windows hide underneath the launcher also the ALT F2 wont start the run dialog ether. Not sure but what fixed the icons not showing seem to have broken these things. everything works fine in Unity 2D so I'm sticking with that for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762478 Title: [nouveau] No icons shown in unity launcher ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 762478] Re: [nouveau] No icons shown in unity launcher when using experimental mesa drivers
Here's what I don't get. This is marked as the duplicate of a host of other issues. Unfortunately, THOSE are not related to the nouveau driver. Heck, I'm using an intel driver at work, an nvidia driver at home (nvidia 8500) and an ATI card (FGLRX) and ALL OF THEM have this exact problem. I can open trouble tickets for all three individually, but as the others have they will get marked as duplicates of this one. This is a serious issue that affects the default desktop in ubuntu, and one that needs to be repaired ASAP for "normal people" to use it. Logging out and back in, or even killing unity, compiz, GDM, and X entirely don't work. Reboot is the only solution, and that only works "sometimes". I'll get off my soapbox now, but seriously, someone needs to sit up and fix this before developing anything more for unity (and having a serious and catastrophic usability problem sitting open). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762478 Title: [nouveau] No icons shown in unity launcher when using experimental mesa drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/762478/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
