Comment 2 for bug 537137

You didn't provide any explanation as to why you changed the package. Changing back.

Regarding the freeze example I mentioned, I now found out why Battle for Wesnoth svn is freezing, and it doesn't have anything to do with the graphics card. The game doesn't even use 3D acceleration. So what the hell does *fglrx-installer* has to do with this?

Let me remind you that the bug is that there is no way for an ordinary user to escape a frozen full-screen app. Frozen full-screen apps happen for a variety of reasons and you can't hope to fix them all. Therefore you must provide a decent workaround so the user can avoid losing data. And the X server seems to be the best place to put such a workaround.
