//Edit: Ok, it seems that I first get into a blackscreen (for loading the menu I suppose) for a second or so, sometimes it is switching between desktop and the totally black loading screen. WC3 version: 1.21b I already renamed all the movie files. I have to kill the process then. I stay at the old screen solution which is used in WC3. IIRC after restarting Ubuntu everything is fine again. Sometimes, not always, when I manage to start the game, I get the message "The base sound drivers couldn't be initiliazed. The sounds will get deactivated". But sometimes I don't get this message and the sound is working as it should do.
