@Jay, I can confirm that patching unity with your change seems to
resolve the problem.
USC reloads or flashes and seems to lose its position, so perhaps
something is still imperfect, but the visual corruption is gone, and
programs seem to install successfully.
Jay, I can't tell in reviewing your patch if it's a true fix or a
workaround. Is there any actual kernel or X.org changes needed for this
issue, or is your unity fix going to be considered the solution? If
more is needed on the X or kernel side, please reopen the X task and let
us know more specifically whats needed. (A minimal testcase we could
pass to upstream would be ideal.)
