I've tested this with gnuchess-5.02-8 and xboard-4.2.5-4 and can't reproduce it. It takes a moment to initialize the game, perhaps even up to a minute pn slower CPUs. During that time xboard doesn't react on mouse movements, perhaps that's what you're seeing ?
Oops, you're right. Sorry for the panicky bug report from me. :-) (It was probably the impatient little boy in me who filed the bug.) I run Limbo on 2 machines, a slower Pentium I class machines and a Pentium III. On the slow machine it takes up to half a minute before startup. The faster machine takes up a few seconds.
