Phil Doroff,
Thank you very much for your investigation to this problem. I have had this issue since 11.04, and now with 11.10 Ubuntu. On both these versions I installed gnome-shell and had no problems with window movement and general animation jitters.

I've changed my mousepolling to "10" which has solved this problem.

Instructions for anyone who would like to replicate my solution:

sudo gedit /etc/modules

Append the following:
-r usbhid
usbhid mousepoll=10

Save the file and reboot. To verify that the setting is in effect, run the following command:
cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll

If the result is "10", you have succeeded. You should also now have smooth window movement.
