[compiz] White Cube of Death - fglrx_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.452.1-1

	Compiz has been running great with the 8.433 driver except for the 
libGL SONAME lockup on exit.

see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=344135

	I just built and installed the 8.452 driver. Compiz would not start 
with the normal fusion-icon approach that I have been using with the 
8.433 driver. This is on my Toshiba P35 laptop with an ATI 
Radeon/Mobility 9600. The only way I started compiz was with the cli of:

compiz --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints --indirect-rendering \ 
--no-libgl-fallback --replace ccp &

	When compiz did start, it is the dreaded blank white cube of death. The 
manual install utilized my existing xorg.conf was completed as follows:

    # su
    # cd /usr/src/linux
    # make mrproper
    # make cloneconfig
    # make modules_prepare
    # make clean

    # init 3

    # rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx)

    # sh ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg
    # sh ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg 
SuSE/SUSE103-IA32

    # rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/fglrx*.rpm
    # cp xorg.conf.save /etc/X11/xorg.conf

	I have tried starting compiz with and without the libraries configured 
as required to get around bug #344135. Do you have any tips or tricks 
that I should try?
