this bug is fixed with https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/dont-
ignore-xshape-when-saving.patch?h=easystroke-git

It seems like easystroke on ubuntu is still built from 0.6.0 release and
not from master.


As master is also outdated, you will need to add at least these patches (ubuntu 
package has also two of these patches):
 - [fix build failed in libsignc++ version 2.5.1 or 
newer](https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke/pull/9/commits/22b28d25bb696e37e73b4bc641439b3db9f564ed)
 build fix
 - [Remove abs(float) function that clashes with 
std::abs(float)](https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke/pull/8/commits/9e2c32390c5c253aade3bb703e51841748d2c37e)
 build fix
 - [fixed recurring crash when trying to render 0x0 tray 
icon](https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke/pull/10/commits/140b9cae66ba874bf0994eea71210baf417a136e)
 bug fix
 - 
[dont-ignore-xshape-when-saving.patch](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/dont-ignore-xshape-when-saving.patch?h=easystroke-git)
 bug fix, fixes [Changing 'method to show gestures' to Xshape does not 
persist](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/easystroke/+bug/1728746)
- [switch from fork to 
g_spawn_async](https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke/pull/6/commits/0e60f1630fc6267fcaf287afef3f8c5eaafd3dd9)
 bug fix `This fixes a serious bug that can lead to system instability. Without 
this patch, if a 'Command' action is commonly used, it will lead to so many 
zombie processes that the OS will be unable to launch additional processes.`

for the non-tech savvy, here is an already built package:
http://openartisthq.org/easystroke/easystroke_0.6.0-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb

for people who do not want to install packages from outside the debian packages 
mechanism, I also provide the already patched sources with the used patches:
http://openartisthq.org/easystroke/patched-easystroke-master.tar.bz2

Let me know if this helps ;-)
