@Timo Jyrinki  
Regarding desktop effects, I'm aware that Xgl works with fglrx for desktop 
effects, but I'm usually talking about ordinary user's perspective, sorry for 
not pointing that out. No ordinary user will ever install alternative X server, 
so for most users fglrx does not work with desktop effects. For those people 
knowledgeable enough to install and configure alternative X server, they can 
also probably hack away with workarounds that probably will appear for fglrx, 
or install their own fglrx drivers when the newest ones are released.

I would like to point out that enabling of alternative X server in Gutsy
is accomplished with installing xserver-xgl package and a reboot.  And
that's it.  The underlying complexity of using two displays and running
two X servers is completely hidden from an average user.  All the
scripts are well packaged with the xserver-xgl from standard Ubuntu
repositories.

Why am I defending Xgl?  Because fgrlx+Xgl+Compiz is a not only capable
of fast 3D graphics+desktop effects but also is the only usable
combination on laptops with ATI cards and non-standard resolution (like
mine, 1440x900 -- not supported by ati driver).  And that raises the
severity of this bug only greater since I can no longer use suspend on
my laptop.
