Bug Description
I use onboard 0.96.1-0ubuntu0.1 on ubuntu 11.10 completely updated in a tablet. Suddenly the mouse icons and preference icons have disappear, I attached a pair of screenshots in a zip file. Please note, the icons are missing but the buttons are still present, so if I press in the place where the icon must be onboard do what it's supposed to do (for example, the red button in the second screen opens the settings window). However it's very difficult to press in the right place for the mouse buttons.
I'm not sure if both things are related but I must comment that Onboard worked fine until I activated 'force to top' (from Bug #915250). I've tried to disable that option, change transparency, different theme, compact and full keyboards, unity, unity-2d, gnome-shell, gnome classic desktops... Same bug.I've tried to change some parameters in Ubuntu Tweak, but the icons are still missing. There are 12 .svg files in /usr/share/
I've uninstalled and reinstalled onboard 0.96.1-0ubuntu0.1 and the problem persists. I have a PC and onboard works fine on it, I can't reproduce the bug in the PC. I've compared /usr/share/onboard and ~/.onboard in the PC and in the tablet and they seem the same to me, so I'm not sure if it is a bug from onboard or from another package. I don't want to reinstall ubuntu, but onboard is very important in my tablet and without mouse icons it's hard to use. Any idea? Thanks.

Thanks for the bug report, David. There seems to be a character encoding mismatch that only breaks Onboard in certain locales. I was already working on making sure those can't happen again, but unfortunaltely 0.96.1 is still affected.
Please be so kind, run onboard from a terminal and post the ouput. I suspect there will be a python backtrace that confirms this.
Also please post the ouput of 'locale'.
As a workaround, see if running onboard in english helps. This only changes the language of the user interface and won't affect your keyboard layout:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 onboard
