The application is usable although, but I don't want to use a black boxed app... On startup first nothing is black, but after about 1 second, the black stuff is there. I will record a video.
That's kind of my point, it doesn't matter if an application is technically *usable* if no one wants to use it that way. I(having been into computers and programming for 25+ years) wouldn't want to use it that way, and for a normal user, this means totally and utter unusable.
Have you tried the suggestion that Vitaliy Margolen had, disabling 3D stuff? I don't use gnome, but the settings should be locate somewhere like Systems>preferences>desktop effects.
