Ximian. I've got the games, I see, under /usr/games, and they run. It
comes down to getting them to display in the menu. Turns out, though,
that only root can add them to the menu. That means logging out of X
and back in as root. Good thing I don't take games very seriously ;-)

I guess I could put /usr/games in my path (I see it's not there
now). Are you saying that if I do that, the games will by magic pop up
where they are supposed to in the menu?
