Bug Description

[Test Case]
1. Restart your system (fresh start)
2. Login to Unity
3. Open the dash
4. Press the maximize button
   -> Verify that the button does not change its position.

[Regression Potential]
Obvious fix, no regression potential.

Original description:

The maximise button on the dash changed location when I clicked on it. It reliably happens the first time I click on it after booting the computer, when the dash is already in a maximised state.

You can also reproduce this by:
1. maximising the dash and then closing it
2. running unity --replace & disown in the terminal
3. opening the dash and clicking the maximise button.

I have an nvidia card running the proprietary driver.

I have latest precise-proposed with updated Unity 5.12 installed. I'm seeing blur update problems in addition to the shifted maximize button. This might be related to the fact that I'm using a netbook with GMA 950 graphics, which forces the non-GLSL codepath in Nux. I can reliably reproduce this bug after a restart of Unity.

It's hard to describe, take a look at the screenshot.
