Good idea about Nautilus, but in fact it was running - I've attached a
screenshot just to show it.

Your tip about the Appearance/Visual Effects preferences helped discover a new problem :o) So, here are the steps I went through:
Original state: xorg-radeon driver with Alexandre's latest xorg.conf, native res 1920x1080 in Karmic, display as shown in screenshot with Visual Effects prefs set at "Normal". Slow windows on open/close/move.
- Changed Visual Effects prefs to "Extra". The windows became a bit faster, but still slower than before (meaning that they're slower than on Jaunty, and slower than with the fglrx driver on Karmic).
- Changed Visual Effects back to "Normal" just to compare again, windows were indeed a bit slower than with "Extra".
- Changed Visual Effects to "None." My background and icons appeared! (A screenshot for reference, I can only add one attachment, so it's a link to my site: http://www.fraise.net/images/PLE2407HDS-radeon-bg.jpg )

The important step, because it caused a session crash and threw me to the login screen (the crash was replicable):
- Changed Visual Effects prefs from "None" to "Normal". Ubuntu displayed the message "Searching for drivers", then the session crashed.
- I logged in and tried that step again. Second session crash, this time without the "Searching for drivers" message.
- I logged in and, again, tried changing to "Normal" visual effects. This time no crash, but the background reverted to blank and a message asked me if I wanted to keep the changes ("no"... Visual Effects at "None" is more usable).

Voilà. (Also, Alexandre, pas de soucis pour l'anglais ! Moi c'est
l'inverse, je suis américaine et j'habite en France... pas toujours
évident, les langues étrangères :) )
