Bug#849119: playonlinux: Buttons fail to appear in most or all pop up dialog boxes

[Ray A.]

Package: playonlinux
Version: 4.2.10-2
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

First, thank you for your hard work on Debian.  I really appreciate it.

The buttons in dialog boxes always fail to appear.  To reproduce the bug,
install stretch, and then try to install an additional wine version, add a new
wine instance, or anything else that creates a basic pop up dialog box.  Some
more complex dialog boxes seem to work, like the initial one that opens when
you
start the program, or the one when you open to the wine version
manager.  In those more complex dialogs, there are buttons, but if you actually
try to install a wine version, or do any number of other things, a new simpler
dialog opens, and there are no buttons in that dialog box.

This is a pervasive problem that stops the user from doing almost anything
useful
with the package, the install a new wine version dialog is just one example of
it.

I believe this is a problem with some sort of issue or incompatibility with
python-wxgtk, but that's a guess, I really have no idea.

I don't think it matters, but I use KDE for what it's worth.  I'll be happy to
try anything that you ask to further diagnose the problem.  I tried changing my
gtk
themes to see if it would help, and it did not.

I am using reportbug, and I think I clicked that I included a patch
accidentally (I
didn't), so if it says something about an included patch, please disregard
that.

Thanks,

Ray
