OK, here we go:

I hit ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to a virtual terminal and the heavy
flickering immediately returned. With some difficulty I opened gterm,
ran ps -aux and noticed:

ubuntu   16416  0.5  0.6 104924 13208 ?        Ss   00:41   0:01
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon

... which I previously had killed.

$ killall -9 gnome-settings-daemon

... and I'm back to a flicker-free desktop.

So it looks like that's the problem.
