Britt, a few questions.
First, is this a regression? If so, when did you first start noticing
the flickering?
You mentioned there was a recent fix released; can you supply some
additional pointers as to what that fix was or when it went in?
You mentioned you don't see it in Arch linux; what version of X.org,
mesa, and kernel were you running there?
Have you tried installing fglrx? If so, do you see the bad behavior
when running that? (Note that the fglrx currently in Precise has a bug
when playing video with Xv, so you may wish to uninstall it and return
to the foss driver once you're done testing.)
Given that you see similar misbehaviors in gnome shell and unity, it
does seem reasonable to assume it is due to an X.org/mesa/kernel driver
issue.
