First very brief check:

Under the assumption that it's an environment variable, I've added it to
~/.bash_profile without reading all of the ticket. Voila! That has fixed
the most obvious missing refreshes indeed.  Not sure it's 100%, though. 
After I had exited Emacs as the custom editor in Claws Mail, a few seconds
later the Emacs window reappeared on the screen for fractions of a
second. Not normal behaviour.

xterm+mc slowness is still there. Also when running JWM (package "jwm")
instead of GNOME Shell. Test-case: Run "xterm -e mc", then enlargen the
window. Lots of flickering while it takes seconds to redraw the contents
again and again. Not reproducible with gnome-terminal.
