Description Ross Burton 2002-06-02 21:19:14 UTC 
Scenario: I have libgnomeui et al installed in /usr from the Debian
packages.  I wanted to try out gnome-games so installed it using garnome,
so gataxx is in $HOME/bin/gnome2/.

Starting gataxx causes:
  Could not find '/usr/share/pixmaps/gataxx/classic.png' pixmap file for gataxx

I think I traced this down to:

  fname = gnome_program_locate_file
          (NULL, GNOME_FILE_DOMAIN_PIXMAP, (tmp), FALSE, NULL);

in load_pixmaps().

Replacing this with GNOME_FILE_DOMAIN_APP_PIXMAP seems to cure the problem.

If this is the correct solution (it works for me), I have a patch to fix
this as much as I could for most of the games.

Attached the patch.  I've also sneaked in patches calling
gtk_window_set_transient_for() more often.

Please test this -- it make gnome-games actually run for me but I did
find a few crashes whilst checking everything still worked...
