Howdy All, After spending an evening in the debugger I accidentally stumbled upon a temporary solution to get GNUBG functional under Ubuntu 11.10 .
The issue involves a feature of Ubuntu's desktop that I despise - those overlay scrollbars (scrollbars that popout past the edge of a window to save real estate inside a widget). For some reason the overlay scrollbars under Ubuntu 11.10 do not work with GNUBG for some *yet* unknown reason. If you want to turn overlay scrollbars off for just GNUBG so that launching from the menu works then do this from a command terminal: sudo nano /usr/share/applications/gnubg.desktop Modify the line that starts with Exec= and replace it with this new one: Exec=env LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 gnubg -w This should allow GNUBG tro run properly, and you will notice the scrollbars appear normally. ---------------------- For anyone who is interested in turning this feature off site wide, I found this tidbit by creating a new file: sudo nano /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars And putting this line into it: LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 You'll have to restart X or just reboot Ubuntu for this to take affect. -- Michael Petch CApp::Sysware Consulting Ltd.
