Re: Out of the box desktop effects; Debian vs. Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse...
When you install the binary ATI driver it overwrites the Mesa3d libraries, which the ATI binary does not use, but the open-source ATI driver does use (this is the driver that your are using to get desktop-effects to work). I would un-install and re-install xorg via apt to get them back, or just reinstall the OS.
It might also depend which ATI drivers you used. If you used the very latest that may not be the case, as I haven't used them in several months. But this used to be the case not too long ago.
