It can be started with “-usedefcmap”, but it’s still unplayable as it
seems to scroll through the user interface at very high speed.

I just noticed that there is an earlier bug report from 2016:

https://issues.guix.info/issue/23217

As the problems haven’t been fixed since then I would prefer to remove
xboing.

bug#34208: xboing fails to start

2019-01-26 Thread Ricardo Wurmus
Starting “xboing” I only get an error message:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
/gnu/store/0im1vkwpnj10ix064s71yladv1wmhgvp-xboing-2.4/bin/xboing
XBoing - Please wait rekado, initialising xboing ...
XBoing - Error: Xlib Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

Please read 
`/gnu/store/0im1vkwpnj10ix064s71yladv1wmhgvp-xboing-2.4/docs/problems.doc' 
document for help.
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

“problems.doc” does not mention this error.
