KMahjongg uses 2 bitmaps for its background and tile set.  I tried your
example and
it returned /home/rwilliams/.kde ...  Is the problem that 'pics' is not a
registered
type?  Maybe I should install the bmps into /data?

Is it possible to just retrieve the directory /opt/kde/share/apps/kmahjongg
(or
where ever the global share is located)?  I can add ../pics to load the 2
bitmaps.

P.S.  Learning how to use the new 'stuff'
