I've tested 3.9-rc6 build now. It is slightly more stable but still corrupts the
display on launching the dash.

Nouveau upstream expects me to run the latest code in their git (including
DRM and other pieces of freedesktop.org). I'm afraid I don't have the time to
mess with that. Running the latest kernel isn't enough to file a bug
according to their wiki.

If there is a PPA containing the latest nouveau stack, I might try that.
