Sorry for the slow reply. I have switched from the ATI fglrx video driver to the open-source driver. This has cured one of the most important issues with my system: Suspend/Resume (S3) no is longer extremely slow and disk intensive. It now takes just 5 seconds or so, and the system is very responsive after a resume, presumably because the memory allocation isn't messed up (half the RAM unused, with almost nothing allocated as cache, and lots of data in the swap space) as it is with the proprietary driver.
Perhaps as a side effect, the invisible Gnome panel problem I reported here is gone too. I have used the machine extensively for weeks since the video driver switch, and have not seen it, whereas it used to happen unpredictably every couple of days. Note that my issue had nothing to do with xine or with window borders; it was just a Gnome-Panel thing.
