@Jay, I can confirm that patching unity with your change seems to
resolve the problem.
USC reloads or flashes and seems to lose its position, so perhaps
something is still imperfect, but the visual corruption is gone, and
programs seem to install successfully.
Jay, I can't tell in reviewing your patch if it's a true fix or a
workaround. Is there any actual kernel or X.org changes needed for this
issue, or is your unity fix going to be considered the solution? If
more is needed on the X or kernel side, please reopen the X task and let
us know more specifically whats needed. (A minimal testcase we could
pass to upstream would be ideal.)

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.
I'm on a Intel Graphics machine (lspci output attached)
