Since Gutsy there's been a longstanding bug against Gnometris:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138586

Simply put, the game as we ship it is unplayably slow. Our high
performance operating system can't run Tetris.

There is a workaround that can work though: change the default theme.
Gnometris will be uglier than Gutsy, but at least it will work.

Thanks,
Scott Ritchie

I'm not 100% sure how gnome-games is put together on a default installation cd of ubuntu, but I think if the gnome-games package maintainer changes the default theme to the working one in the package then it'll be fixed on all new Ubuntu installs.


You can use packages.ubuntu.com to find the gnome-games package. You'll be able to find the maintainer's email from there, ping him and see what he thinks.
