Is happening to me also now for the first time, in Ubuntu 14.04, clean install on release date of Ubuntu 14.04, fully updated. The command "setsid unity" relads Unity and temporarily fixes the issue, but the problem comes back during the session.

This is reproducable with firefox windows by moving/maximise/move to desktop XY. Sometimes other windows (like terminal-window/google-chrome-window) are hiding the launcher/dash/docky too. This problem is reproducable on a T60p with ATI-FireGL video-card.
