Public bug reported:

On this five years old dell workstation the screen start showing some
kind of weird corrupted patterns. This corruption gets worse as time
passes by. A reboot solves it for a while.

The corruption can be seen in the Unity tooltips and in the wallpapers.
It can also be seen in the icons shown during Alt+tab.
