GNU Backgammon won't start

Writer Emily Wong

I'll select the app GNU Backgammon to start but nothing changes and the icon isn't shown in the panel. I considered that my graphics driver was the problem but even after activating the additional driver nothing changed.

After running it in the terminal i got:

GNU Backgammon 0.90.0 May 1 2011

The program 'gnubg' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 151 error_code 1 request_code 155 minor_code 19) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I am using Ubuntu 11.10
