What do you think about the radiosity on this scene? Seems correct for a 
little room with indirect sunlight?

Somehow I feel it incorrect. Transition from dark to light on the same areas
seems unnatural but it can be illusion and/or result of blur. Before showing
what trick you have used (I assume it gives very fast rendering) please send
real radiosity version for comparision.

It doesn't look right to me for this reason: there is a very strong tint of
color on the walls and floor near the red, green, and blue objects
(especially the green one), but for such a strong tint, it fades too quickly
farther away from the objects. Maybe the colors are canceling each other
out?

  Yes, I feel also the same.  It's a side-effect of the trick used, but I 
will try to minimize it. Blur doesn't has nothing to do with it, and 
perhaps helps hidding the fact.

  That's the problem, and my motivation to do the trick: I can't get that 
kind of lighting only with pure rad and one light_source outside. Surely 
it's possible, but I've not the patience needed to find and test the high 
quality settings... I'm very lazy, do you remember? :)

  The original image on the first post uses an extra area_light placed 
carefully on the window hole, to simulate the external rad coming in, with 
"Radiosity_Normal". The image called "faked_rad_normal.jpg" shows the same 
setup with only the outside light (almost no visible rad effect). The image 
"faked_rad_no-aa.jpg" uses also the same tricky extra light, but without 
the area_light statement (to show better how it is placed). 

 I've tried this trick on my "alchlab" image done with Megapov, but seems 
that it works better with 3.5. I will try to add an spotlight statement 
automated to follow the sun position, to give it a more directional look.

  Your right: seems the tint is a bit excessive. But not too much, I think: 
I've been looking at real situations and some surfaces with intense colors 
seem to behave this way, in an very directinal way. I think it's a side 
effect of having actually two light sources: it increases the tint effect 
of radiosity.
