It also depends on Gtk+ 1.2.  Some time ago I tried to change the code
so it uses Gtk+ 2 instead, but that appeared to be too much effort.  Is
Gtk+ 1.2 also scheduled for removal?  If so, it might be better to just
drop this package (although I would rather keep it; it's a nice game).

I don't think this should be a problem, but if Gtk+ 1.2 will be removed
as well, I think it is not worth the effort.  So please let me know
about this.

Thanks,
Bas
