Quote: "The only thing that I get is an occasional occurrence of SteamVR not starting the compositor which I think is usually caused when you stop a running application and try to restart it again before it has had a chance to reset itself."
Yes, this makes sense and is probably what's happening.

Here's an example:
If I uncomment the skybox or load an object, it's fine.
