If I understand correctly, there is no known-good version of the X/kernel
stack, but the regression the user experienced came with the upgrade to
GNOME 3.

Please forgive my ignorance: is it possible to (temporarily) configure
GNOME 3 not to take advantage of accelaration, or to start X without
starting a GNOME session?  That might be interesting, since then it
might be possible to find some other simpler application that
reproduces the same trouble and helps pinpoint what is provoking
trouble from that end.
