Bug#745339: xwelltris: Doesn't start (Loading resources..ERROR: Can't find file)

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Package: xwelltris
Version: 1.0.1-15
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

When attempting to start xwelltris I get the following error message:
$ xwelltris
Loading resources..ERROR: Can't find file board2.gif in:

My guess is that it should also look in /usr/share/games/xwelltris/
where the graphic files are installed. Just to test, I added a
symlink in /usr/share, which made the game run. It did complain
about welltris.scores though, which probably needs a similar fix.
