Ya know there is a way to handle this.  Bashing developers is not one of 
them.  Regression testing is.  Some of our 'users' are not savvy enough 
to figure out how to do this.  We need to help them.  Since I run a Mac 
and don't have access to some of these games and don't want to introduce 
the world to Apple's 'broken' X11, I cannot fill this need.  However, 
others can and should.  Now, are you going to be a part of the problem, 
or are you going to go out and find the culprit and fix it?  Think about 
this and go forth and do great things.  I expect nothing less from a 
person of your experience and abilities.

In other word:  Quit whining, and fix it.
