I don't love the command line but after thrashing around this bug for two months it's simpler than cranking up Synaptic & doing a search, flipping thru windows, selecting this that and the other. Lot of mouse clicks & keystrokes.
Anyway I presume the new build isn't in the repositories yet because selecting Visual Effects Normal it said "searching for available drivers" then the screen went to hash and the keyboard died. Rebooting gave orange screen freeze. Back up and running by using rescue mode & root shell prompt to remove compiz, see workaround at the top of the Bug report. Can't do that with the GUI because it is the GUI that won't start. Compiz is on by default. I'll try again tomorrow.
