This is a bug in the playdeb binaries. Please use the Linux Installers on megaglest.org which which do not have this issue.

Thanks

OK, I downloaded the installer and its working flawlessly  I am pleasantly surprised by the speed gain on linux, loading times are much faster than windows (but that may just be a less fragmented HD) and no graphics bugs from the nvidia drivers 

I have to congratulate the MG team on making the whole install process painless for Linux noobs and putting everything into one folder to make modding much easier

It would be good to report this bug against the getdeb/playdeb package, though...
