Okay, this is annoying. In Gnome 2.4, they removed the standalone freecell game, and instead link to the freecell built into the monster solitaire game. Now, in and of itself, this is not a problem. It certainly looks better. However, the monster solitaire game, like all such I’ve ever seen, uses the click-and-drag format for moving cards. As everyone in the world knows, freecell uses the click-click format for moving cards, and that is much superior for the game. The old, standalone freecell got this right, and the new one does not.

At least, through the wonders of open source, I can manage to get and compile the old version, so I’ll still have it as long as it works. Maybe by then they’ll have fixed the new version…
