I am having the same problem with the nvidia proprietary drivers. Redraw is slow & moving windows lags behind the cursor---this with a SLI dual 9800GT set, so I do have more than enough GPU power to really accelerate anything onscreen.
I also like the ideas put forward about window placement/resizing-- *Suggestion:* > My suggestion would allow users to draw boxes on their screen (which would > snap to window edges / other boxes), once set the borders could be dragged > and resized or the box removed entirely.
