Same bug here: upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10 x64 using nvidia-current package.
My graphic card is nVidia Geforce Go 7300. After login Unity bar and Panel works, but the screen is not refreshed:
the system allows me to interact with the bar and windows, but i can't see a visual feedback.
Steps to analyze this behaviour:
1. Login without visual effects
2. Open a new terminal window
3. run unity --reset (and wait for finishing loading)
4. move the mouse cursor over window's borders to resize and resize the window.
5. move the mouse cursor over previous (actually shown) window's border - the mouse cursor doesn't change in "resize mode"
6. move the mouse cursor over new (you have to remember where you put your window's border in step 4) window border and the mouse cursor will change in "resize mode".

...Looks like a video refresh bug...
