Either
1) XAANoOffscreenPixmaps needs to be added at install if the radeon driver is chosen
2) Desktop Effects should be disabled for radeon
3) Desktop Effects should warn the user, add XAANoOffscreenPixmaps, then restart X

As it stands, users turn on Desktop Effects, think it is working, then realize the contents of newly-opened applications do not appear. This means that desktop effects can't be turned off, short of switching to another virtual console or opening a terminal and blindly typing pkill compiz.
