Bug Description

It seems that randomly when I'm working on my Ubuntu precise beta1 installation (unity 3d) a white rectangular ghost image appears out of nowhere in the upper left corner.

Here is a screenshot: http://ubuntuone.com/5SWjm6RY6djKZpYbssXGHt

This has happened more than once, but I don't see a pattern to exactly tell what causes this problem. Sometimes it appears after locking the screen and logging back in. Sometimes it suddenly appears and I don't notice it right away. I can still click the area beneath the image.

I've noticed that after running "unity --replace" or "setsid unity" to restart unity the ghost image disappears.

If anyone has an idea would causes this white image to appear, I would be happy to do some further testing.
