Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-games
Upon upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 beta, the game Lights Off (package lightsoff) has ceased to function. If I choose it from the menu, the window loads, and the level indicator appears at the bottom, but no blocks appear in the gameplay area as expected, and level up/down and new game commands do nothing.
Here is the output when run from terminal:
sean@sean-laptop:~$ lightsoff
** (seed:6170): WARNING **: Exception in instance construction. Line 103 in /usr/share/

Both gnibbles and swell-foop are completely broken too. I know games aren't high priority but they are often the first thing a new user will try out (and by them, judge the OS). (I myself was motivated to switch to Linux by the kde games available on a Red Hat machine in my office several years ago...)
