The "problem" of having two people use the one login account has not
really been solved in GNOME in general. The traditional model is one login
= one person, but that isn't really true anymore. We could let the user
type a new name in when they get a high score. I'm currently working on
that code and I will seriously consider adding this feature.

Two player games don't usually end up on a score-board though. For
two-player games it would be better to have a separate ranking (i.e.
cumulative wins between people) rather than recording who got the best
score. That isn't going to be written in the near future though.

The package is actually called gnome-games-extra-data. Most distros don't
include it by default.
