PolyGlot supports the following work arounds:
to the way kibitzing is implemented, KibitzMove is disabled in that
case.
+ WbWorkArounds (default: true)
+ The intention of these options is to provide work arounds for
+ xboard/winboard bugs should they arise. This one decapitalizes the
+ word Draw in options that contain this word. Some versions of
+ xboard/winboard contain a bug which causes such options to be
+ interpreted as draw claims by the engine.

+ Engines that send options with "Draw" in their name are Rybka and
+ HIARCS.

+ WbWorkArounds2 (default: false)
+ Old version of Winboard clear the engine output window at depth 1.
+ With this work around PG will send info lines at depth >=2. This
