I can play WoW perfectly, it is 100% stable and I can get great fps.
One problem though, when I minimize the game and I maximize it, sometimes I can
just keep playing happily but sometimes thats not the case. I minimize it,
maximize it again and the FPS drops to about 10-20fps (anywhere).
As you might know, this is VERY annoying, I've tried changing loads of
settings in-game with no help.

WoW is running at maximum settings, but changing the values has no effect. I
haven't explored EVERY possiblity, but no one can. :p
Has anyone had any similar problems? Also, I can't play WoW with V-Sync
unless the game is in full-screen mode, windowed only works without V-Sync.
I really want to sort this problem out as I minimize the game quite a lot!
Running the game with an emulated window doesn't help either. It happens in
GNOME and in KDE 4.2 so my DE is not the issue.
Are you running the game inside a composite window manager? If so try
disabling.

Tried with and without Compiz (in Gnome) and with/without KDE's compisiting manager. I wish that was the solution. :p
It also happens sometimes on resizing, switching workspace etc. By the way, you can restart the in-game graphic engine with /console gxrestart.
Try to remove 2GB from your system and see if that helps. There are various issues (driver bugs and Wine bugs) related to virtual memory. Some of these issues are more serious when you have 4gb or more in your system. Try with only 2gb for a change.
