sudoku started crashing when trying to start it

Binary package hint: gnome-games

When trying to start sudoku - it crashes immediately. This seems like new behavior. It was running fine previously on Ubuntu 8.10.

~$ gnome-sudoku

This is a duplicate of #270644. I deleted the files in ~./sudoku and was able to get sudoku running again. This can be closed as a duplicate. Peace - Anthony
