i don't think running the game from xterm makes it lag more cause xterm is not consuming any cpu, what did you do to get it run from the icon ?

It must of created the savegames.scm on start up.
Like I said, It worked fine when I first installed it up until I closed the phone down with pingus running.
This save file problem is pretty weird, the king Ralphred's case just strengthens my belief that the game more or less randomly creates bad save files. I don't think I'm skilled enough to do anything about this but I will try...

When I first installed it it ran from the icon until I shut the phone down with pingus still running. Since then, whith much farting around, I can only run it from xterm

A work-around to make it start from desktop icon could be to edit:
/usr/share/applications/hildon/pingus.desktop

Change this line:
Code:
Exec=/usr/games/pingus --datadir /usr/share/games/pingus/data/ --fullscreen -g 800x480
to

Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm -e '/usr/games/pingus --datadir /usr/share/games/pingus/data/ --fullscreen -g 800x480'
Works for me

I would update to 0.7.3 release. Mainly because vanilla (no patches) 0.7.2 has a huge memory leak when playing multiple levels. It was at least fixed in svn version which I used for OS2008 package, but I have to admit that I haven't tested 0.7.3 or this maemo5 package.
