If you need to change things, here are your options:

1) Do not use setgid binaries. This means that high score tracking won't work
(although you can make the files world-writable and therefore open to use/abuse
by everyone). Use the --disable-setgid at configuration time to do this.

2) Change the group used. Creating a new, unique, group for gnome-games (e.g.
gnomegames) is the best solution. You can change the group (and user) used via
the --with-scores-group and --with-scores-user options to configure at compile time.

Seb, Martin - do you have opinions on this. No high scores sucks, we'll get
millions of bug reports for it. Does 2) make sense? Another group?
