Hi James, I tried your patch on my machine (ubuntu 9.04 ashamed ATI radeon non-supported) and it's working fine.
ATI is a crap. If you want to make serious 3d/video stuff in GEM on Linux or you change video card, or you go back 8.04. Meanwhile you may want to check this tips for a decent configuration of ATI cards:

this helped me to not go crazy and throw my video card... but I still can't work properly. hope this helps..

Ok, here's an update on my gem troubles... I've repartitioned my hard drive and installed Ubuntu 8.04 and Pd version 0.42.5-extended-20100114. I've also installed the ATI driver which is now available in Hardware Drivers. So far so good. I can open the gem patch I sent yesterday, but when I click [create, 1( I get the following errors in the console:
error: GEM-Xwin: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
error: GEM-Xwin: GLXBadContext
error: GEM: problems making glX-context current: refusing to continue error: GEM: try setting the environment variable GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1 error: GEM-Xwin: GLXBadContext
error: GEM: Unable to create window error: [gemwin]: no window made ... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu. error: GEM: Create window first!
I tried running pd from gdb as IOhannes suggested and it outputs the following:
Starting program: /usr/bin/pd [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] tk scaling is 1.237138508371385 [New Thread 0xb7d0f6b0 (LWP 12399)] <init> : Avifile RELEASE-0.7.47-080115-14:47-4.2.3 <init> : Available CPU flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 tm pbe up bts est tm2 <init> : 1600.00 MHz Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz detected [New Thread 0xb66b7b90 (LWP 12405)] [New Thread 0xb5bc0b90 (LWP 12406)] [New Thread 0xb53bfb90 (LWP 12407)] [New Thread 0xb4bbeb90 (LWP 12408)]

So it seems that my gem issues are not driver related? Can anyone shed some light on what is going on?
thanks
