Bug Description
tl;dr: compiz should not render an empty x11 root window as a black surface; it should render _nothing_ instead.
Compiz draws a black surface on all outward-facing sides of the cube--even with cube opacity set to 0.0000 both while rotating and not rotating, and a wallpaper set by the Wallpaper plugin with no image and both colors set to 0 opacity.
In the past it was possible to restore transparency by fiddling with gnome-settings-
For a while, it was possible to work around this with gnome-settings-
I believe the cause of this may be how compiz interprets _XROOTPMAP_ID or _XROOTMAP_ID (when unset?).

I should say that I do not believe compiz itself is responsible for applying this background, which appeared after an update that did not include compiz. However, it does not seem there is anywhere else to do anything about it: removing the packages that were updated do not remove the background, but leave it "default black"; attempting to change the root window background with utilities like hsetroot and xsetroot proved similarly useless. I've set everything to how it was before and back again many times over, but this will not go away. It would seem the only solution is to change how compiz renders the cube to prevent this from happening.
