Hello!
It seemed like it was common to mis-use the G(tk)Application APIs during
the 3.4 era, and many fixes for this was introduced sometime during the
3.6 era.
For mahjongg this particular commit seems to fix the startup segfault:

(also available at:
https://gitorious.org/glassrose-gnome/gnome-games/commit/ce2dc8ce176713a61c740bbd5b5d5b82f6e4ffba?format=patch )
Several other games included in gnome-games seems to have similar programming
errors.
The gnome-games set has now been split up and games have their own repository
and own releases. I wonder if new glib versions should declare a Breaks
on gnome-games (<< 3.7) .... I assume gnome-games >= 3.7 will be a transitional
package of some sorts.
