Well, then roll back to the previous version.

Ubuntu and Mandriva use the same X server software,
so if a patch used by SuSE is bad, it's going to be
just as flaky on Mandriva and Ubuntu until the
guys maintaining the X server fix it.

The only other solution for you is to replace
the X server with a commercial one....and that
doesn't matter which distro you use.  And there's
no guarantee that a commercial product will be
bug-free forever, either.

Really, your reaction to this whole thing reminds
me of a 3-year old throwing a temper tantrum
because his wooden block tower fell over when he
put another block on, and now it's the end of
the world.
