I pushed a change to xf86-video-ati Git to bail gracefully instead of
crashing.

No worries, glad to hear it's working.

In such cases I usually find it more useful to attach gdb to the process
hogging the CPU and trace its execution. Looks like XFCE is hitting an
extremely slow path in glamor, but it does finish eventually for me.
Probably file a bug against glamor.

FWIW, I find data from perf or sysprof much more useful than oprofile.
But the CPU might not be the bottleneck for this anyway, it's generally
very hard to beat shadowfb across the board.

The "glamoregl" module needs to be pre-loaded (along with "dri2") from
Section "Module". glamor ships a xorg.conf.d snippet for this. Current
xf86-video-ati Git catches this more gracefully.
