Public bug reported:
I did an apt-get upgrade yesterday and rebooted, and since then my
desktop windows flicker on changes enough to make the system difficult
to use. For example, pop-ups on chrome will flicker between two spots
over and over and continue to flicker so long as I am typing (happening
right now on each keystroke typing here, fragments of a Chrome plugin
notification will alternate positions on each keystroke).
Also in chrome, changing tabs will cause the previous and next tab to
flicker alternating rapidly for a moment before the new selection is
set. This effect happens changing any windows so it isn't peculiar to
Chrome. I noticed also that on rebooting after the upgrade, the
settings for my two monitor display had been reset to the defaults.
Prior to the update, the window manager was working fine.
