I applied the patch (gtk2-117163-cairo-repeat-pattern-workaround.diff),
to Gentoo's gtk+-2.8.11 and it makes Gnome much smoother and snappier,
even running at 600MHz off of battery.

I feel that combined with the removal of the 300ms delay, the problem is
solved.

Now, if only to get the useful icons back... sigh...
