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.
