[K12OSN] Bug & workaround in childsplay

[Peter Scheie]

Starting childsplay from the menu in Gnome (haven't tried KDE) runs the 
program, but I get no sound.  However, calling it from a shell/xterm 
session does work.  /usr/bin/childsplay is just a symlink to 
/usr/share/childsplay/childsplay.py.  Running either file via Nautilus 
produces the same no-sound result.  There was discussion of this problem 
about a year ago, with no resolution aside from my suggestion to check 
the .bashrc file for any clues.  I removed the symlink and replaced with 
a two-line shell script that seems to work although I don't know why:

. /etc/bashrc
/usr/share/childsplay/childsplay.py

Now running the program via Nautilus or from the menu works.  Not sure 
why this doesn't seem to affect everyone, but I mention it here in case 
it comes up in the future.
