Sorry Simon, I had already tested my patch with my own local package, I
didn't think you'd need me to test your package of it, and I'm hoping to
hear if anybody else has tested it. ;-)
On a 17.10 Artful VM with Sugar, the Sugar desktop does not appear, some
other problem, so I'm not able to test
Ok, did you get a chance to test it or did you just review the diff?

Since Wayland is not supported by Lubuntu, the only flavor that ships it

I found the cause of the problem and fixed it for systems using Xorg.
It was a race condition, and is affected by speed of computer, speed of

Your observation on the visual effects is likely the same as mine which I
reported as bug #1649001. However this was considered as a duplicate of
#1574278.
Focuswriter or LibreOffice Writer can be installed as suitable alternatives.

I experienced this bug in Lubuntu 16.04, and found it made Abiword
unusable. I recently installed Lubuntu 17.04 on a different computer and

With some more testing I have to qualify that statement a bit: With the

Yes, but we can't force an app to use a custom theme, modifying all Ubuntu
distros as a workaround, instead of actually fixing the problem. Apps must

According to upstream bug, it's a gtk 3.18 bug which Abiword triggered.
An update to 3.20 fix the issue, which is the case on yakkety. To fix
the bug on 16.04, we have to find the correct gtk fix (which may not be
that easy).
