Hmmm...,
Running compiz-manager fixed the problem, as did simply adding the old
fixes
to ~/.config/compiz/fusion-icon:
ignore-desktop-hints = true
no-libgl-fallback = true
indirect rendering = true
loose binding = false
sm-disable = true
No more white cube. I have since removed the additional fusion-icon arguments
keeping the default of:
indirect rendering = true
loose binding = false
It now starts just fine. I don't know any more than that. Chock this
one up to
Gremlins. It's fixed now. Thanks.
