what theme are you using? can you try using some different theme/engines? i can't reproduce it on x86.
Sorry for delay - just back from week away with work. I've just tried several themes: Simple, Amaranth, Crux, Glider, ... Same behaviour every time. IMHO, from what I've seen before, it is very likely to be a 64 bit processor problem (i.e. same kind of thing as http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48948 but with a different game and a different gnome version). I'm fairly sure that this didn't happen with gnome-games 2.6 as I remember systematically going through them all about six months ago. Should be fairly easy to track it down as I guess not that may have changed with gataxx code between 2.6 and 2.8. What do you mean by different engine (sorry, still noobish)? I'm up for giving anything a go, but you'll have to guide me through it a bit. I only have AMD64 version of gentoo.
Definitely does work with gnome-games-2.6.2 but not gnome-games-2.8.1 with everything else being equal (on gnome 2.8)! So something must've changed between 2.6.2 and 2.8.1 with gataxx that breaks it for AMD64! (Removing gnome-games-2.8.1 ( emerge -a -C gnome-games), reinstalled gnome-games-2.6.2 ( emerge -a =gnome-extra/gnome-games-2.6.2 )-> Gataxx works. Removed gnome-games-2.6.2 ( emerge -C gnome-games), reinstalled gnome-games-2.8.1-> Gataxx no longer works)). Hope this helps. Sorry for not trying earlier - away with work.
This has been fixed in 2.8.2 which has just been added to CVS From the NEWS: Ataxx: - Fix a crasher on 64-bit machines.
