Bug#715312: swell-foop: preference choices are ignored -- game is always 3 colors on a small board

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: swell-foop
Version: 1:3.8.1-1
Severity: normal

I launch swell-foop from the gnome games menu (i'm using gnome
classic, because this machine's video card is not supported for modern
gnome).

from the "Swell Foop" menu, i choose "Preferences".

this shows me several choices (default in square brackets):

 Board size: [Small]
 Number of colors: [3]
 Theme: [Shapes and Colors]
 Zealous Animation [checked]

there is also a close button.

if i modify any of these settings from the defaults and press the
close button, then re-open the Preferences dialog box, they are all
back to the defaults.

I've never seen any of the non-default options take effect in a game.
