Yes, that one is a major complaint of mine as well. Do not use the software center to install any packages with launchers, use the terminal instead. However, it doesn't happen if you use the software center in a different DE. It only happens in Unity. So there is some bug with compiz causing all of this.
** Description changed: Using Radeon HD 7950 with fglrx. If I double click or attempt to drag an icon in the launcher/dash the GUI will stop responding (but the mouse will render just fine). If I move to a different tty session and back, it merely shows a black screen and my mouse cursor. The only way to fix it when this happens is to sudo restart lightdm. + + Update: It's no longer a black screen when alternating between tty + sessions, however it's unresponsive and ligthdm cannot be + killed/restarted. It's also good to note that whenever installing a + package with a launcher in Ubuntu Software Center, the GUI will freeze + up under Unity. Other DE's work fine.
