OK, i broke it again - mmm then fixed it. So now i know how i rebroke it before.
I was wanting the dodgy behavior back in unity so i used this dudes repo: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ikarosdev/unity-revamped (which makes dodgy work great) BUT it re-introduces the flashy / flicker bug in compiz rotate cube. Steps to fix (again) 1.) Purge out repo that caused issue if you happen to know 2.) Install Synaptic if you havent already 3.) In Synaptic use the 'force to version' for compiz and compiz-core forcing them to compiz=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 4.) If you purged then you lost unity, compiz + plugins, etc. otherwise remove them 5.) Apply the commands below (provided by sogerc1 and mfwhite5 sudo apt-get install compiz=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz- core=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz- gnome=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz- plugins=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz- plugins=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-plugins- default=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 libdecoration0=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 While this bug is annoying to some, i cannot use ubuntu when this is happening because it makes me want to puke and have a seizure.
