[work-around]Graphics problems in Freeciv.

so basically the problem is I'm getting terrible and buggy graphics in freeciv.  none of the dialogs are opening correctly, the main map frequently needs to be refreshed, all of the game graphics are being rendered terribly.  has anyone else had a similar problem?  the problem exists in both fluxbox and xmonad.  I'm using the radeonhd graphics driver.  I'm not really sure what's causing this, and there doesn't seem to be anything that I could find on-line.

here's a Screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about.

I'd also like to add that there is an in-client dialog for changing graphics options, ironically I can't read it, because the graphics are broken

[work-around] so I changed the GTK theme from the default to another theme and it inexplicably cleared up the entire problem,
I never thought of that since it didn't appear to be the GTK theme that was broken.  awesome, case solved.
