I have been all over the internet about this problem, and everyone seems to have slightly different but unrelated errors to mine.
Rosegarden was working yesterday. Now, every time without fail, it will display the splash screen, some hint of a window, but then the area of the screen "freezes" and doesn't refresh (where you can "paint" over the area by dragging a window over it ;))
I tried:
sudo apt-get purge rosegarden
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install rosegarden
With a seemingly fresh install, things happened the exact same way.
Here's the terminal output:

And that's it. Rosegarden just hangs there. Every time. I don't know what could possibly create some sort of error that would persist across a fresh install. It also appears that it can't load any fonts for some reason....
