Provoking the oldest gnome-games bug, #2845, a sudden ending on win could
be helped with a "fancy card ending"... I may be alone here, but I'm
thinking the only ending that wouldn't be underwhelming would involve an
OpenGL option and cards floating to the ground. Add the ability to undo
(when you close the dialog) and the removal of a "game over" state, is the
second half of that bug no longer worth fixing?
