Since the program demands high performance 3D graphics it challenges 
poorly advancing driver within the current X server.
It worked fine for the ati driver for me until the driver was broken in 
development.
I could not see that Google Earth is the problem. The screensavers used 
to challenge the X server for performance and now are written off. Maybe 
Ubuntu takes the challenges produced by X server errors more seriously 
and develop better X server qualities.

Just my view,

Jim
