Unity on 14.10 - Desktop issue after dist upgrade

Question

I just upgraded the distribution from 13.04 to 14.04 and than to 14.10 in hope of some fixes but I got instead a big one that reminds me of very much of ... windows lags. I hope is not a feature.

The Desktop somehow doesn't clear itself, the image bellow describes it better than words:

I hate to say it but it worked before just fine.

Did you experienced this issue ? Is it an effect fail ? Is it a 3D graphics fail ? And more specially how do I fix it?

Solution

reset the unity

$ unity-reset
$ setsid unity 

if that didnt workout try to re-install the unity & the desktop

$ sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop 
$ sudo apt-get autoremove unity 
$ sudo apt-get update 
$ sudo apt-get install unity
$ sudo apt-get install unity-2d 
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop 
$ sudo shutdown -r

14.10 is not yet released, and is still being developed. Questions related to the in-development release of Ubuntu are offtopic here.
