I believe the fix for this is in the Unity domain and so I've changed the target package accordingly. This is a regression as this has worked correctly for many cycles.
Bilal, I've assigned to you to get yoru take on this. Please reassign as needed, etc., of course! Many thanks! ** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => unity (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981168 Title: Regression: Installing apps causes a terrible visual glitch-- have to restart X.org. Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Installing any GUI app from the software center breaks the session with a visual glitch that hides everything. This is probably related to the new animation when installing apps (the icon flying to the Launcher), because it only happens when the Software Center is set to lock new apps to the Launcher. I believe this is really bad since this is going to be the default behavior.
