Shouldn't ambient be 0 for everything when using radiosity?

Yeh, and I also noticed a bright strip down the left of the bookshelf that 
probably shouldn't be there.

Try reducing brightness to 1 and increasing the brightness of your sun.

Also, couldn't you do render without the glass in the window, save the 
radiosity data, then render again with the glass loading the radiosity data? 
Might be quicker and allow you to use higher settings for the same overall 
render time.
