Okay, after some digging, I think the screen keeps doing a full refresh but ends up being unable to display the interface normally, with

Code:

eips -c

in kterm things get refreshed and I can see the buttons, but when I leave the app things go blank again. I noticed the script I ran had a

Code:

DISPLAY=':0.0'

, so I could assume that it changed a variable that dictates how the screen should work or refresh? I'm not sure.
