Microprose Avalon Hill Squad Leader from the CDROM

This scripts loads the game.  While the game runs perfectly there are environmental issues upon exiting.  The Desktop under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running Gnome 2D classic does not reset properly.  A CNTL-ALT-DEL log out followed by a login restores the Desktop.
