I have committed a change to the latest GNUBG source code. The change will appear in future source code snapshots after July 1st, 2012 . It is available as of this message in CVS. For those building GNUBG from source, and wish to have GNUBG run properly on Ubuntu you must do the following:

Normally you run ./autogen.sh, followed by ./configure, followed by "make", and possibly "sudo make install " .

For those familiar with this process, you must alter your configure command slightly to include code to work around this bug and force overlay scrollbars off. the configure process should be amended to be something like:

./configure CFLAGS="-DNO_OVERLAYSCROLLBARS"

With this change, you should be able to run GNUBG without setting any environment variables ahead of time. The downside is that GNUBG will always run with standard scrollbars (not overlayed ones). This fix is temporary until a proper solution can be put in place (And there is a solution).
