options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular

is configurable so it shouldn't be hardcoded here.

Except in this case it is the default location.

In your suse package you override the bindir variable.
Games are supposed to install their binaries in /usr/games/,
which in rpm is accomplished by the «BINDIR=${prefix}/games» variable in the system.mk(.in) file.

A proper fix would be to put the desktop file in a desktop.in, with the variable used by «configure» to determine it.
Your proposed change will break most distros packages, resulting in them having to patch the desktop file by themselves.

I vote NO on this merge.

(EDIT: Corrected games binary path)

[solbu]

And the reason for the hardcoding is that on many distros the folder «/usr/games» is Not part of the PATH variable.

I've no time right at the moment ... except to say that I expect BINDIR configuration to be cascaded from Autoconf to the desktop file, so that means renaming it to an .in file and referencing in configure.ac AC_OUTPUT.
