things properly. Of course this would be a subset of the normal KDE 
guidelines. But there are some things which are game specific. Anybody 
volunteering?"

Other things that could be included in this game specific behavior guidelines 
are:

o Sequence of buttons in the button toolbar and which buttons should be always 
showed.
o Where game specific options should be (like "enable worldwide top scores").
o libs to use for games (topscores, network games,...)
o ...
