In every case thus far, the old drivers did fix the problem. This problem only applies to certain models of older integrated nVidia cards from what we can tell. Unity is not the problem, I don't know why you think disabling that will help. Unity just manages the windows, it doesn't draw them. Howev

I have disabled unity ASAP. But I have this white/transparent window problem - first time in my life using the lastest Ubuntu. It is really annoying. Of course, I have Nvidia. But if it is their fault, then using old drivers should fix the problem (which did not - according to some subscribers)...

Same problem here since weeks on my (rather old) Vaio with 1GB RAM and a Nvidia GeForce 6200 with 128 MB RAM. But white windows only appear, when logging into the unity session; the unity-2D session works flawalessly. This happened with the old Nvidia drivers and happens with the new Nvidia driver
