Have you installed the packages that I suggested and in the order I listed
them?
If not, then please do so before we troubleshoot further.

The systray can be enabled/disabled. It works fine here with some kde apps,
as well as pidgin, etc.

I run a couple of radeon cards with e18 and I have had no such problems. I
also have an old R200 which runs fine (although it accelerates the graphics in

If you are using the ATI proprietary drivers for your radeon card then I am
not surprised that things fall apart. You have to try the radeon open source
drivers. This may help to get you going:
