The Slider  widget in the example program for SWt Slider( copied below) is not visible in Ubuntu 11.10 with Overlay Scrollbars enabled.

A workaround is to disable the Overlay Scrollbars by following the steps in http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-disable-overlay-scrollbars-in.html :

sudo su
echo "export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars
