  Binary package hint: gnome-games
  
  When a person starts the 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.  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
+ 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
