Scsijon,
I have finally managed the problem by installing an unofficial build of the driver "xorg-x11-driver-video-intel" from the repository "home:scalpel4k". It seems that this repository contains the latest driver build from git, and there is no such problem with this driver. I believe the driver included into the official distribution is buggy and should be updated. As well as I know I am not the only person who experience such problems (see Bug 738398 on the Bugzilla, which was opened on 2011-12-23(!) as Major(!) and has not yet even been assigned!!!).
Best,
Michael

After every hibernation/resume many icons on the panels and in applications, and some other GUI elements become black or transparent (invisible). I need to restart programs and kicker (I normally use KDE3, but the corruption in XFCE as well, but not in icons in other graphic elements) to get rid of it.

I tried to use the noKMS mode ("i915.modeset=0"), but the "intellegacy" driver, which is compatible with noKMS, always crashes on some applications (like firefox and thunderbird). I tried many device options, but to no avail (except for "Shading" "on", but this option spoils video players and some GL applications). Upgrade to "X11:/Xorg" packets produce no effect. Recently, I installed an older "xorg-x11-driver-video-intel" from "home:aevseev" repository. It helped for the first several hibernations, but then the problem returned.
