[xorg-edgers] White screen after login

[YannUbuntu]

Binary package hint: xorg

On Ubuntu 10.04, using Xorg-edgers PPA.

- yesterday with updated packages, my "Gnome" session was working well with Compiz.
- today I updating my packages (including xorg-edgers's ones),
- after rebooting, my "Gnome" session leads me to a white screen where i can see the mouse cursor, and Compiz seems to work (a Compiz workspace chooser effect works, showing a small version of my 4 workspaces, but they are all white)
- Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (that I had configured previously also) works and leads me to GDM.

From GDM I can connect without any problem to "Kubuntu", "Lubuntu" and "Gnome failsafe" sessions.

So I guess this bug is related to a combinaison of Compiz + today's XorgPPA update.

Please also note that for this bug report , I did "ubuntu-bug xorg" from a "Gnome failsafe" session.
