Regarding 3, I tried to fix this problem in the latest version (I'm the
current dev of tint2). However there is no package available for 14.04,
nor a PPA, so if you would like to try it out the only way is to compile
from source.

Normally I don't recommend this unless you know what you are doing, as
it is sometimes difficult to remove from the system software installed
from source and there are other things that can go wrong. In the case of
tint2 it should not be so complicated.

If you want to do it,  here is a page with instructions:
https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/wikis/Install#install-from-source

You will have to configure tint2 in your startup applications to run
from the new path (/usr/local/bin/tint2) and remove the sleep then
relog. If it has problems please let me know.

If you don't want to try this it's perfectly fine. I am just curious if
this solves the problem in your case, which is a bit strange -- normally
tint2 should just draw itself without transparency if the compositor is
not detected correctly at startup; it should not dissapear completely.

Title:
  tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots
  fine with proprietary driver

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I run a little taskbar app called tint2. I boot it at startup, but
  about 50% of the time it isn't visible after booting. The other 50% it
  is. So I can reboot or logout/login until it sticks. At first I
  thought it was a bug in tint2, but now I have found that I don't get
  this issues when I run the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx). So I think
  it might be a problem in the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver. I have a
  Radeon HD 8600M series in a Lenovo S540.

  Additional note: when it does not display and I power off the
  computer, it is displayed for a brief moment before the computer shuts
  down. That makes me think that it is actually a display problem, not a
  problem of tint2 not booting at all.

  If this is unlikely to be caused by the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver,
  I apologize for reporting it here. If you need additional information,
  please let me know, I will be happy to provide.

  Required info:
  1) Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  2) xserver-xorg-video-ati Installed: 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3.1
