Double-clicking is an unusual user interface but it works.

I opened Makefile.am in gnome-games and chose "gnibbles" as the target.  
Debug|Debug gave the unhelpful message "unable to start a debugging 
server for this target".  I modified 
gIDE/plugins/debugger/debugger-tool.c to output the target filename in 
that error dialog and discovered the filename was 
"/home/snible/gnome-games/gnibbles/.libs/gnibbles".  The binary is 
actually located at "/home/snible/gnome-games/gnibbles/gnibbles".  There 
is a .libs directory, but it's empty.

Opening the Makefile.am in the gnibbles directory itself, as opposed to 
the gnome-games one, gives the message "Not a proper project!"

What to do?
