[Gambas-user] Upgraded to 2.19 and now windows and controls are mangled

[Bill Richman]

1. I have Ubuntu set to automatically install critical updates, so I 
can't say for sure, but the problem happens with the runtime on two 
machines, one running Ubuntu 8.10 and one running Ubuntu 8.04.

2. I'm not positive; I may have missed one or two of the hundred and 
fifty million messages that blew past during the compile and make... :-/ 

3. No, I didn't uninstall the previous version.  I didn't know that I 
needed to.  I'm going to uninstall the old version using Synaptic, try 
to find and remove anything that was installed by the new build, and 
then run the configure and make again.  I'll try to capture the outputs 
this time and get back to you with them if the problem still exists.

Thanks,
-Bill
