I've used E-UAE, no Amikit, with Arch Linux on my EeePC. I don't have this
behavior.
I've got an Aspire One with an Atom processor, as well, it also doesn't have
this issue.

I would suggest not using Amikit, but a stripped install first to see if
Amikit's extra apps and so on are causing an issue. (By the time I got Amikit
to install without using Windoze I'd found that I didn't want 90% of the stuff
anyway; and as all was installable by hand...)
I'd then try another window manager, not Gnome or KDE, and see if those are the
issue. Start in 'safe xterm' mode and then run both e-uae and something else
(using control-z to suspend, or screen to start 2 terms, or just execute
another xterm.)
Those 2 things should eliminate any outside influences that I don't have in
mine (as I'm using xmonad and workbench setups set up for programming and not
eye candy.)
