Source Package
gnome-games 1:2.27.1-0ubuntu1 (source) in ubuntu karmic

1) Ubuntu release

2) Package version

3)
I expect the game Chess to start when I click on it in the menu Applications --> Games --> Chess

4)
The game shows a "button?" (whats the name of the field in the bottom panel representing a running program on the desktop?) in the bottom panel telling me Chess is starting. After 5 to 10 seconds the button goes away and chess does not start.

Next output what happened when I tried to start it from terminal:

ubuntu@ubuntu-test:~$ glchess
