11.10 works for most in 4.1.6 and there were some things added for ati cards. See the changelog. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=46807

well I don't see anything mentioned about this bug in the 4.1.8 changelog so I guess I'll assume not.

edit: just for the heck of it I installed 11.10 and nope, Unity 3D still doesn't work on Mac hosts.

re-edit: I forget where I read it but apparently once you are in Unity 2D you can type "compiz --replace" in a terminal and things work as they should.
