Regardless it's a gutsy move, can we do a similarly clearly worded dialog for every issue caused by patents I wonder "sorry not our fault, elect better officials". I have a feeling doing that would make the Red Hat Legal guys pale though. Also this error dialog is more useful than what the desktop effects stuff currently fails with when hardware is unsupport, maybe it would be a venue worth exploring. Excellent work Hans..

This dialog is thrown by /usr/bin/opengl-game-wrapper.sh Which we (the Games SIG) use for any Games which use OpenGL. Anyways I just wanted to make clear this is a Fedora customisation, which we add to all OpenGL using games and not something UFO:AI specific. Regards, Hans Hi David,
