Worked for me too. Documented workaround in Launchpad
* start a terminal (pressing the key combination Super+T should do)
* enter the following commands to create the configuration file
  sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf
* in the configuration file, enter the follwing lines
  Section "Device"
      Identifier "Radeon"
      Driver "radeon"
      Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
  EndSection
* press CTRL+X, then Y to save

IMHO, rather than closing the bug, if shipping the workaround s not too difficult it would be more user-friendly to implement the workaround in the XFCE .deb package until the driver is fixed.
