I can't get frotz to run after installing from the deb - it just complains that it won't run as root. Lookng forward to this n900 specific release..... :-)

cant wait for this to get into extras-** (not to confidant in the old .deb installation), but I have managed to get Zork 1, 2, 3 working in DOSbox so that will tide me over 
Keep up the good work!

thought I'd ask for help here, its probably really easy
I have installed the frontz .deb given by ArnimS and can run my .z3 files through xterminal perfectly.
In xterminal i just need to run
and all is well.
What i would like to do is create a .desktop file that i can place on the desktop to run the game directly.
So far I have tried a few things (im just guessing/reasoning) and i thought it would look something like this
When I tap this icon a new window opens with the tile Zork I, it is all black except for the titlebar, and it just closes/crashes.
Any ideas?

Any news on this? Just got my N900 today, and have a sudden craving to play some text adventures on it!
