Bug Description
Ok, I don't have a screenshot illustrating a dead pixel, but I have two illustrating the window artefacts. These windows do not seem to be real windows: clicks pass straight through, and so cannot be detected by xwininfo. They also disappear when unity is restarted (as is the case when dead pixels appear - I thought it was my monitor until switching to a tty showed me otherwise).
I don't have any data on when these occurrences occur. It's just weird.
