got a similar problem:

chidalgo@chidalgo-laptop:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

- using the xorg Intel video driver: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu13.4
- laptop computer (DELL XPS M1210)
- Power Management Preferences -> "On AC Power" tab -> When laptop lid is closed: Black Screen

Symptoms:

- close the laptop lid -> the screen turns off
- open the lid -> the screen goes on, but every window that have to refresh flicker. With only the GNOME Desktop working, all the icons in the background flicks, plus the NetworkManager icon and the "speaker" icon also flicks.
- if got some Youtube video running on Firefox, it also flicks like 8 times, and then playing goes ok. However, running a video with mplayer -vo x11 doesn't flick!
- using "xset s activate" doesn't reproduce the effect.
- the "FramebufferCompression=false" options doesn't work to me.
