Me too Smile. Good to hear it's in the list of things to fix!

I chown'd the directory - installed under /usr/local/games - and its contents, and it now runs in my normal user account... with one glaring exception. For lighting effects emanating into a room from a distant source - fireplace, more brightly lit room, that kind of scenario - instead of the lighting I'm getting randomly flashing colors, but only there. The rest of the game looks fine. My guess is that it's a lingering permissions issue with a graphical resource, but I'll look into it more in the morning... it's nearly 3 a.m. here.

edit: Scratch that... I went to bed, woke up this morning, attempted to replicate the issue, and now all is well. I'm chalking this up to a random driver glitch.
