Excuse me, but pointing you in the direction you
came from (i.e. a working system) isn't helping?
It might not be the answer YOU WANTED, but it
is a helpful answer. Sometimes the answer you
want is not a helpful one.
You need to understand that.

Sometimes people need it.

Well, then roll back to the previous version.
Ubuntu and Mandriva use the same X server software,
so if a patch used by SuSE is bad, it's going to be
just as flaky on Mandriva and Ubuntu until the
guys maintaining the X server fix it.
The only other solution for you is to replace
the X server with a commercial one....and that
doesn't matter which distro you use. And there's
no guarantee that a commercial product will be
bug-free forever, either.
Really, your reaction to this whole thing reminds
me of a 3-year old throwing a temper tantrum
because his wooden block tower fell over when he
put another block on, and now it's the end of
the world.
