Bug#472542: gnome-games: freecell scores do not work anymore

[Brice Goglin]

Package: gnome-games
Version: 1:2.22.0-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

Some gnome games such as freecell do not store scores anymore. It
worked fine in Gnome 2.16 (I just checked by downgraded to gnome-games
1:2.16.3-1) but it doesn't work anymore in 1:2.20.3-2 and 1:2.22.0-1.

Freecell 2.22 just says that I didn't play at all. It looks like the
underlying counters have been cleared since downgrading to 2.16 doesn't
show the right counters either. But, then, playing 2.16 increases the
counters as expected. And upgrading back to 2.22 clears them again.

gweled lost its high-scores several months ago, now some card games do.
This is making my wife crazy :) Please do not give her any reason to
hate Linux :)

thanks,
Brice
