Hardy Heron has a ton of that stuff LOL. Doh! My apology for not noticing that this happens on my machine too, even after I created a symbolic link to fix synergy looking for locale info in the wrong place.
I don't know why this is occurring, but on a hunch, I installed the kubuntu-desktop package, logged out and logged back in again with KDE selected instead of Gnome. Whaddaya know, the graying-out problem with Synergy doesn't seem to occur. Since I'm not a Synergy user (yet), I can't attest that it works fine now, but it looks like it should. I hate this kind of problem. It reminds me of the "good old days" when turnkey CAD/CAM providers---IBM, Intergraph, Computervision, and the like---required you to buy their custom hardware and their custom OS (AIX, anyone? how about CLIX, HP-UX, Digital Unix, or SunOS? Remember when the non-Sun vendors created OSF/1 to push Sun out of the driver's seat?) as part of the deal to get their software. When I got into the world of CAD data-exchange standardization, I had one of every major system in my lab. It would take us days to pollute their various file systems by trial-and-error with enough symlinks, lib-file aliases, and configuration datasets to port our testing tools across platforms. And the inconsistency of the shells, oh the horror... Older and wiser now, I'll follow Kirk's lead and wait for the Ubuntu (more precisely, the Gnome) version of Synergy.
