That's only a game, not really a priority for the next tribe, changing the milestone setting

I confirm this one, a default apps that crash on startup is a serious bug, it should be fixed, game or not.

The latest version of gnome-games has fixed this.
Get it at: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games/2.19/

It is really a pygtk API breakage. This has also been fixed in the SVN trunk version of gtk+,
and will be included in the next development release of gtk+.

There's not much more we can do as gnome-games maintainers....

  * New upstream version
    Minor fixup for another glChess crash due to pygtk API changes.
