It's hardly a fix, but OpenGL works just great in Xfce. I opted to give it a try the other night (been using Gnome for a couple years, after initially using KDE for a bit), and I'm really liking how kind it is to my laptop's limited resources. Not only does the window frame display properly, but the ghosting/painting issues are cleared up. Moving, minimizing, and closing a window with OpenGL content looks exactly like it should. So, while the issues are still there with Gnome, I probably won't be using Gnome anymore. Makes me wish I'd just installed Xubuntu in the first place (Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome). Would have saved a couple days of testing and research. Not that it was entirely a waste, as I understand a good bit more about Ubuntu, now.
