This is really, really great! I love it, thank you. ^_^

You can't switch away without closing the app, unfortunately, but I imagine that's just one of the consequences of just packaging it and so can't be helped. Still, I love it.


*edit* If you want to have the full screen available -- and why not? -- edit /home/user/.civclientrc and replace:
gui_sdl_screen_width=640
with:
gui_sdl_screen_width=800

-- it was line 39 for me.

I forgot how neat Freeciv was; the number of leaders per civ is awesome, as are all the civil war settings.

*edit 2*
I was able to get it to show up in the window manager, although not with a title, by editing /usr/share/applications/freeciv.desktop and adding/editing the following lines:
Icon=freeciv-client
X-Window-Icon=freeciv-client
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
StartupWMClass=SDL_App

Not sure if any save the last are needed.
