They would be very welcome, as would some pointers into the HIG about 
this subject. I haven't done a whole lot of reading into the HIG yet. 
Hearts is my first free software project (actually, the first Linux app 
I try my hand of after a few years of Win32 coding) and I haven't been 
able to wrestle myself through all the thousands of pages of 
documentation on various topics scattered around the net :-)

I had hoped to propose this one day when it's close to a 1.0 release or 
thereabouts. At the moment I'm working hard to get the basics done so I 
can do a 0.1 release. I'd be gratefull to have Hearts in gnome-games 
some day, if the (future) maintainer will have it.
