Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. The
09_rrootage_make_highres_default.patch was never applied because someone
disabled the patch in the debian/patches/series file for unknown
reasons. I have rebased the patch according to your instructions.

If you mean the ~/.rr.prf file, the path is defined in
src/attractmanager.c. We could simply change the current value to
/.local/share/rrootage/rr.prf which is indeed a better place. I will
make the necessary changes with the next upload of rrootage.

P.S.:

It is better to file bug reports for such issues because they won't get
lost which can sometimes happen if you send a message to our bug mailing
list directly. Here is a short introduction about the bug tracking system.

You can also contact us at debian-devel-games at lists.debian.org which is
mainly used for discussions about Debian and games.

Cheers,

Markus
