This issue is resolved... After updates installed 2006.10.28 and a reboot, gnome-games function properly. A reboot alone wasn't the issue, since I've shutdown/started my laptop several times since initial bug report. Not sure what exactly caused or fixed the issue, attached is yum.log containing updates since installation of gnome-games as described in Comment 1.
