In /var/lib/dkms/ you should find everything you need to track down the
issue. Maybe it's still a problem with 2.6.20 kernels, although I had
hoped they fixed the problems, since the previous patch no longer
applied.

As for "the new control panel", it's now a big fat pre-compiled binary
(the old one was free IIRC), and the docs say it's "beta", so I'm not
sure a desktop entry is really needed now. You should be able to run it
with "amdcccle", though.
