Name Used for High Scores Resets (Mahjongg)

[Christopher L. Simons]

Binary package hint: gnome-games

When a person starts the Mahjongg program and gets a high score, the person is allowed to enter a name. If the person does not accept the default and enters a different name (I believe this default is whatever the user's name is in the /etc/passwd file), the game saves the high score with the entered name and everything seems fine. If, however, the player continues with a new game (without exiting the program), and earns another high score, the program will automatically save the high score with the user's name as it appears in /etc/passwd (and the user is not given an opportunity to enter a different name). So, if my name in /etc/passwd is "Chris Simons" and I save my first high score with "I am awesome!", the second high score will automatically be saved as "Chris Simons" and there will be no way to avoid that. This might not seem like it would be an issue under normal playing circumstances, but if two players are switching turns each game in competition, all high scores other than the first will be saved with the name of the user logged in. I'm running Mahjongg 2.26.1 on Ubuntu 9.04. `apt-cache policy gnome-games` yields the following: "Installed: 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2" ... "500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages"
