Unable to play igano from gnome-games package

[stlubuntu]

Intalled the gnome games package on on eeepc 900 16G running
ubuntu 8.04.1 (actually ubuntu-eee 8.04.1 with NBR).

Most games appear to play just fine except for igano (othello) where
the last row is below the bottom limit of the screen and there appears
to be no way to resize the game board at all to be a little smaller to
fit within the confines of the screen (resize option is greyed out.)

Thanks for all of your work on this project. I really love the interface
for small screen netbooks.

Hi, thanks for the bug report.

This is really an upstream bug, Igano needs to be able to support screens with lower resolutions than 1024x800. So I'm moving this to gnome-games.

Thanks, Neil.

The reason I filed this as a Netbook Remix bug is
that the maximizer completely maximizes the window with
no resizing possible. In NBR, as you are well aware windows
are either completely maximized or minimized -- i.e. there is no
in between resizing. It seems to me that if I could resize the
window, that I would be able to play Igano. That is why it
seemed to me to be an NBR bug. I am not sure what
the gnome-games team could do to fix this without the
cooperation of the NBR team.

What are your thoughts about this?

Thanks,

Robert Bennett in St. Louis
