Gnomehack would segfault when suidmanager is not installed.
Comment from erik:

I suspect that I should check for proper permissions on startup, 
and then whine and exit if /usr/lib/games/gnomehack/gnomehack
is not owned by root.games with permissions set to 2755.

Please remove. Upstream maintainer has stopped developing. Seems to have
been merged in alsa ??

Package is in a bad shape. varkon --config fails because 
/etc/varkon/cnf/ini/english/linux is set '-rw-------'
It also seems to be distributed upstream as a binary. Maintainer wants to
wait for the sources to become available, before he makes a new release.
Might not be available before the freeze....


Hope this helps...
