Re: [Bug-gnubg] bug freezing ubuntu system

[Martin Abendroth]

It has something to do with the scrollbars in ubuntu. My workaround was:

1.) start from console with:
LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 gnubg
then you have permanent visible scrollbars in the docked windows.

2.) change the application starter 
(/home/yourhome/.local/share/applications/gnubg.desktop) to:
[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Game;BoardGame;GTK;
Comment=GTK or console backgammon program with analysis
Exec=env LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0  gnubg -w
GenericName=Backgammon
Icon=gnubg
Name=GNU Backgammon
NoDisplay=false
Terminal=false
Type=Application

there the line starting with Exec is essential.
