The patch makes me nervous; passing on GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS looks to me (from my admittedly non-expert reading) to potentially break a number of other things. Supposedly, Flash support in Web browsers relies on non-native windows, among other things.
There's an alternative way to get GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS set on just the panel. Move /usr/bin/gnome-panel to /usr/bin/gnome-panel.bin and create the following shell script as /usr/bin/gnome-panel:
!/bin/sh
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS
exec /usr/bin/gnome-panel.bin
It's a hack (and will be undone next time gnome-panel updates, and leave the gnome-panel.bin file behind as cruft), but if you do that and gnome-panel works properly under synergy, then we've confirmed that setting native windows on just the panel will fix the problem.
Once we've figured that out, we can see if the gnome-panel folks in Debian are willing to accept a more permanent fix, or if anyone with Synergy upstream has an idea what might be going on.

Package: synergy Version: 1.3.1-5 Severity: normal
On the server, I get this annoying behavior that when I click on a minimized tile on the gnome-panel nothing happens. I have to move mouse and bring it back to the tile and click to make it work. Using a right click followed by left click seems to work also (Note: I have select windows when mouse moves over them activated).
This problem has been documented in many places, and as far as I've seen has not general solution:

The most helpful link is the Ubuntu launchpad bug, especially these comments:
