Doesn't happen for me on Xubuntu.
My guess is that it is specific the AwesomeWM. Have you tried with a different WM? Is Audacity OK on AwesomeWM other than the splash screen?

Yea. Audacity has no problem on other wm's. But, as I see, you are using wxwidgets to make splash screen. If I run wxwidgets' splash screen exaple it works correctly on awesome. Maybe you are doing somethink specific. It looks like race condition, as audacity shows splash screen in 40%. See more

I don't think Audacity 2.2.2 was tested with WxWidgets 3.0.4, though I wouldn't expect major problems. It's supposed to be built against Wx 3.0.2 (with gtk2 - gtk3 is known to cause major problems). The next version of Audacity should be built against Wx 3.1.1 and gtk2.
