I've created a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1784697
To answer your question, I don't close the blank window. KiCad crashes with a
SIGSEGV in gdk_window_set_geometry_hints before I can do anything. Thus, this
is a fatal error on my machine.
Guess it's time to look for a new video card. But as you say, other folks will
probably run into this problem too, so it would be good to resolve the issue.
