I have done some testing, and found that specifying the use of the vesa driver in Xorg works around the problem. All the gnome-system-monitor, notify-osd and even cairo-dock come back. Hope this may help a bit.

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
   Identifier "Configured Video Device"
   Driver "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Default Screen"
   Monitor "Configured Monitor"
   Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
