I don't think putting either patch into the public release would be smart.
Neither patch fixes the defect, rather both provide a work-around at a cost. The wrong part is that since both patches target the XOrg server itself the cost would have to be paid by any user, regardless of whether he/she uses the defective drivers.
I have not seen any similar defect notes with a different driver, that leads me to believe the problem lies within the driver, not XOrg.

Even though I am affected by this bug I would rather drop using visual
effects (or use the integrated Intel VC), rather then imposing negative
effect to the other Ubuntu users.

Is there any way this issue can be resolved WITH Ati/AMD, rather then
DESPITE Ati/AMD?
