Well my first problem was that i didn't have guile installed so aisleriot 
wasn't getting installed during make install.

Yeah its not quite the same version as windows. I know you're busy working 
on mahjong right now (according to your blog:P) but it would be nice to do 
some ui cleanup here when you get a chance. There is some menu 
reorganization stuff that could be done, and simply reducing down the number 
of variations to the more common type (ie those used by windows) might be 
worth it. Right now, the length of the list makes the pref for "solitaire 
style" somewhat useless.

Yeah "Solitaire" would be a much more useful name, probably just left over 
cruft from the gnome1 days. 

Anyway thanks for your quick reply. Gnome-games is looking pretty nice 
(although I only really play tetris and solitaire[1]).

[1] As a side note is the name "Tetris" trademarked? If not it might be nice 
to label the game as "Tetris" in the menus.
