[Lazarus] blank window

[Henry Vermaak]

Hi list

After I upgraded my netbook to ubuntu precise, I only get an empty 
window when I start up lazarus (or my app, which uses the lcl).  When I 
run lazarus directly, it shows a grey box where the splash should be, 
then just hangs.  If I use --nsc, it goes into a blank window with the 
title "Welcome to Lazarus IDE 0.9.31".  Interestingly, when I run 
startlazarus, it displays the splash screen OK, but then just continues 
to the blank window.

I've tried to rule out a couple of things.  I'm using openbox as a wm 
with lxde, but the program behaves the same if I run it directly via 
startx.  I've used previous revisions of lazarus that I've known to 
work, fpc 2.6.0 or 2.7.1, but still the same results.

Could anyone offer suggestions of how I can try to debug this?  Perhaps 
there are gtk debug flags that I can enable?
