Anyway, where does one go to edit this stuff by hand now? Once upon a time I could edit xorg, but this is not the goal anymore.

Is there a launchpad bug devoted to this yet?
Not that I know of. I don't think I have enough information to file a useful bug report. For example, which component is defective? The video driver? Xorg? gnome-panel? Metacity? Compiz? All of the above? None of the above?
