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

[Bertrand Marc]

Dear Ray,

Thank you for taking the time to investigate. I forwarded the issue upstream, and hopefully they will come up with a solution soon enough.

In the meantime, I will downgrade the severity of this bug, as playonlinux is still usable by most people.

Best regards,
Bertrand

PS Could you please put the bug email address in copy?
