ehem, i don't know who is supposed to decide this, but i think that
such a visible usability bug on one of the three typical
configurations (ATI's fglrx) will be a major showstopper for many new
users.

We need to find a solution, any solution, that does not require
googling and installing some dark non-default package to make the
desktop usable.

I understand that the fix might not be ideal, but whatever is decided,
it has to imply an automatic solution without user intervention. If we
know that this problem affects all fglrx installations, then we could
push the patch as a dependency on the jockey installation process of
the propietary driver or whatever.
