Gnome-games 2.3.4

Yet another shiny new gnome-games release can be found at the
usual place:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games/2.3/

>From the NEWS file:

gnome-games “Cruising Along”
2.3.4

Things are cruising along towards a nice, stable, 2.4 release.
This release mostly contains bug fixes and clean-ups.

A big thanks goes to Jon McCann and Steve Chaplin who have done
most of the work on this release.

The TODO file now has a complete list of what we hope to
complete for 2.4 and an incomplete list of what is planned for 2.5
and beyond.

Be warned that changes involving gconf mean that some
preferences will be lost. Selecting the correct preferences again
will fix this. We apologise for the inconvenience, but the
change-over from gnome-config to gconf had already been delayed way
too long for some games.

This is still an unstable release, but it should be more stable
than 2.2 and testing is badly needed. In particular gnobots2 and
mahjongg have produced a number of crashes which aren’t
reproducible on the maintainers machines. Stack traces or precise
instructions on how to reproduce them (including OS version,
library versions, etc.) are desparately needed to try and track
these down.

All games have improved HIG compliance and most menus are now
context sensitive, e.g. you can’t select undo if no move has been
made.

AisleRiot:
The help files work with yelp (even the broken versions). There
should be better compatibility with Red Hat 9’s guile.

Glines:
The background is now a solid colour and the grid lines are
thinner.

Gnome-stones:
New opening title that should be i18n compatible now.

Gnotravex:
The game is now resizable, try it, we hope to make most games like
this in 2.5.
