Confirm the fix works, at least when it comes to window management -
@Alf: thank you very much for providing the PPA.

Yet what I am still very unhappy with is the (obvious) memory management
problem (leak) mentioned in the original bug description. Having glxinfo
executed regularly by a script in order to deallocate memory is a hack
I'd rather not apply to my system, not because it doesn't work out (in
fact, it does), but because it is not what I'd call a 'clean' solution.
*sigh*

This is a really annoying situation: fglrx has severe memory problems
and doesn't support KMS (i.e. ugly boot screen), xserver-xorg-video-ati
lacks power management and lets the GPU run hot - both are (IMHO) not
usable, so back to non-compositing until one or the other (or both) get
fixed properly.  :|
