Basically gtali was segfaulting every time on startup (the main window never appeared, just the "a fault occurred" popup). I renamed the config/settings file out of the way and it started up OK. I'm attaching in a moment the file that was there.
Created attachment 20694 [details] .gnome/gtali config/settings file which appears to trigger a segfault in gtali
Nearly forgot: [bill@localhost bill]$ gtali --version Gnome gtali 1.4.0.1 <pre> [bill@localhost bill]$ rpm -qf $( which gtali ) gnome-games-1.4.0.1-1 [bill@localhost bill]$ rpm -qi gnome-games Name : gnome-games Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 1.4.0.1 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.

This appears to be a somewhat corrupted file. I'm not sure how it got this way (I cannot reproduce it.) In addition, in the future we're moving to a GConf based config scheme for GNOME, and that will hopefully avoid these problems.
