I feel your pain. I experimented a bit with the rotating cube desktop
effects, and somehow I got myself into a situation where my screen (in
KDE) was all white. When I logged off and back on, the startup music
played, and everything seemed normal, except I couldn't see the
background, icons, task bar ... everything was all white. (Now I know
what "this is very experimental" means!)
In my case, Gnome worked just fine, but I really don't care much for
Gnome. So I edited a config file and changed back to Xorg, then KDE
worked again, but of course, no rotating cube. After a day or so of
trying everything I could think of to get things working again, I
finally just gave up on the rotating cube desktop, and I'm happily using
KDE again without the damned cube.
As if the rotating cube has any actual usefulness, other
than impressing neophytes and chewing up CPU and GPU cycles.
Personally, I think the whole rotating cube thing is one of
the biggest wastes of programmer effort+ that I've seen in
a long long time.
