RE: [Bug-gnubg] Suggestions for enhancement/improvement, Windows version

[Billie Patterson]

Oeystein,

Thanks for the reply -- that certainly helps pull the wings
in, and all the small windows now appear on the screen. 
MUCH better!

However, when I closed the options screen after setting the
board to the colors I wanted, I got a DOS window (I run
Win98SE) with the following message:

Window Title: GNUBG
Message:  (gnubg.exe:4294363029): GDK warning **:
gdk_property_delete: General case not implemented.

I can't close the DOS window from the close button, nor
type anything in it to do a normal DOS exit.

Don't know if that matters or not -- GNUBG seems to run OK
if I just minimize the window.

Thanks for your help.

Billie
