Using a stock 12.04 AMD64 debian system I installed gnubg_0.9 +20120127-3 . Without the modification to the gnubg.desktop file it fails as you describe. If I use a version with LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 it functions properly.
This could be an environmental issue of some sort. First off where is the gnubg.desktop file you are modifying? Is it the one in your user directory or one in /usr/share/applications ? When it runs (or you think it runs) with LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 how do the scrollbars appear? Do they appear as standard scroll bars or do they pop out at the edge as you pass over them? I'm asking this question since how they will appear tells me whether LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 was actually working. What desktop environment do you use? Gnome3? Unity? KDE? etc? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002063 Title: gnubg freezes desktop after analysing match To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnubg/+bug/1002063/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
