For the renaming, I'd want to propose one more: Mahjongg -> ShangHai Mahjongg It's because there are 2 different kind of Mahjongg games, and the one included in GNOME is only a variant of one kind of Mahjongg. If anybody has played the mahjongg game in KDE, you'll know that the one in KDE is a bit different, and it's another variant. The one played in Japan, Taiwan, GuangDong, Hong Kong etc is completely different. Here's more info in case people want to know: ShangHai Mahjongg: (in GNOME) A tile matching game for 1 player, where rightmost and leftmost matching tiles can be removed. SiChuan Mahjongg: (in KDE) A tile matching game for 1 player, where matching tiles that can be joined with no more than 3 horizontal/vertical lines can be removed. Japanese / Taiwan / GuangDong / Hong Kong Mahjongg: This is a 4 player game, and the arrangement is somewhat like Scrabble without the board, and tiles are neatly arranged on table instead of inside a bag :). Each player initially has 13 or 16(Taiwan) tiles, and draws a tile from the table and dumps another one, until some certain pattern is achieved (and be the winner).
