[Elecraft] Problem with K3Util v1.4.1.8 on Ubuntu Linux

[Dick Roth]

I recently changed Linux distros from CentOS (Red Hat derivative) to
Ubuntu 11.04.

I haven't been on the air lately because the December blizzards took
down my antenna so I didn't notice that the K3 Utility has problems when
running on this distro using the "Classic" desktop.  The problem is that
I can't click on buttons and get a response.  When I reset my desktop to
the new, but awful, "Unity" desktop K3Util runs properly.

Does anyone know of a workaround besides logging off, resetting the
desktop and then logging back on (only to have to reverse the procedure
to get back to the superior Classic desktop)?

Any help would be appreciated!
