I had the same problem as Kim (#84) - background displaced. I had been using a proprietary nVidia graphics driver which was installed using Additional Drivers (jockey-gtk). I removed/deactivated this driver, and restarted. The problem is gone.
I had also done 'sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-restricted-extras' and 'sudo apt-get autoremove' at the same time as removing the driver, so these may have contributed, but my guess is removing the proprietary driver was the difference.
