Comment:

 I know this is marked as "closed", but I do want to just chime in to say
 that this a problem on ANY linux windowing system using overlay
 scrollbars. That includes both Unity and Xfce, and perhaps several others.
 Thus, anyone trying to use GRASS on these systems is going to run intot
 this problem, and it is a BIG problem, as it renders GRASS basically
 unuseable. This may be related to other, more deeper problems with GRASS
 menus, but since there is such an easy, very non-invasive way to fix this
 for most by adding the line:

 {{{
 export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0
 }}}

 to the grass startup script, why not just do that by default?
