  • Installing graphic drivers manually isn't the best idea. Now you know why. :) Use the one from repository unless you have very good reason not to. And you can also report a bug about this weird behavior.

Click in the dash, search for software and updates, go to 'install additional drivers' and choose a proprietary driver for your system.

  • Try this open terminal ctrl+alt+t and type in the following commands then reboot. gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme '' gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme '' gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/general/theme '' Feb 16, 2014 at 20:55
