I haven't commented till now, but I must say that this bug shows for me the trends in Ubuntu. In the past three years I have installed 3 Computers with Ubuntu (mostly friends with old laptops, who had problems to keep on with windows and the viruses :) ) and won some users for ubuntu and linux.
Now not to sound as a jerk I am thankful for what canonical and Ubuntu have done for Linux, but from 10.10 on this is one unusable Distro. Now all these laptops are Arch.
My own nettop is Samsung N220 and had this same problem after the 10.10 update. Now strangely enough with Arch the problem does not occur.
What I want to say is that I am a long time gentoo user and my work and home desktops are running gentoo and although there is a misconception that gentoo developers are harsh and unhelpful, I have never seen such unprofessional bug treatment in gentoo-bugzilla as the one here, with such comments and with resolutions won't fix.
The second bug I followed was about the extremely slow unity. This specific nettop was also unusable with unity. This second bug is still open and here to be found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/657976
Now if for three releases two extremely big problems in totally open sourced hardware could not be fixed, i am not sure if it is worth it to try and install ubuntu again.

PS: Gnome 3 on Arch on this very laptop is extremely fluid - so this is a distro regression.
