task-kde-games had all of the games as Recommends and not Depends...I changed
that in the next version.
As for your problem...your not giving me anything to go on. "they get nothing"
can't be true. There has to be a log somewhere that says why it's not
running.
I can say that I do know that the games (at least the ones I just tested)
do work over a ssh connection exporting the display back.
