Just to test PyChess no need to install the latest Gnome3 from any ppa. Use the
official Ubuntu repo and install what it offers. I really don't want to mess up
your setup with any third party packages.

Hi gbtami,
you did not mess up anything, I did :-) I thought that is the safer way
after googeling a bit...
But the good point is, after installing 13.10 from scratch besides the
existing one with obviously a gnome desktop, it works like a charm just
as the standard Pychess from repository - and I learned something about
messing and will clean up my system with the New Year.
Have a great New Year!

Hi Mattgatto and Gbtami, this is my final report on this. I reinstalled my
system Ubuntu 13.10 from scratch and deleted the old ones. It's as shipped with
Unity desktop.
Now as well pychess from Ubuntu repository as well as the latest source of
Pychess create no crashes so far, all commands, chat and so on work fine.
I won't test with Gnome and Xfce again as they obviously have no love affair
with Unity ;-)
But maybe you'd need some translation work done to German? Let me know.
Besides that: thank you for creating such a lovely chess program for Linux,
it's a pleasure using it, and thanks for all the suport around with the
pre-compiled engines and so on. I will use Scid as well now, as I am getting
more professional ;-) and it offers more in detail functions for analyzing
games and so on.
But for playing on FICS and against engines it is not my choice at all, too
comnplicated and too slow in picking games for example, and I like the easy use
and the design of Pychess much better.
What I miss is the possibilty to put a certain position of a game on the board
for training purposes - for instance just the 22nd move of the game Kasparov
versus Doodlihoo and to use the engine to study possible best moves just from
there. It would be great to have this implemented.
So thanks again for your support and happy new year!

Unfortunately we have no "setup board" menu implemented yet. But if you have a
.pgn file containing the game, you can load it from any starting position using
Open Game dialog using its move control buttons next to the table and setting
both players as Human. Then with hint/spy engine analyzers you can analyze the
played position, and can do any moves _not_ played too.
