I reinstalled Ubuntu and the Xubuntu desktop, and somehow I am no longer getting that error, but now whenever I suspend and resume Xubuntu, the whole desktop is darkened as if there's a layer of semi-transparent black over everything. The mouse cursor is still completely white, so I know it's not a monitor brightness issue. If I suspend and resume again, it's twice as dark, as if there are now two semi-transparent black layers over the screen. When I restart or log out and back in again, it's back to normal until I suspend again. It doesn't happen every time I suspend--just most of the time. I have no idea what package this is actually a problem with. It may have something to do with XFCE. I tried killing and restarting metacity and that didn't help, and neither did killing the screensaver.
