OK, now I've verified. This patch makes a difference in vanilla Qt nethack, but the debian modifications makes it unnecessary.
For the record, I don't like that no matter what name I give my character, it will always get my login user name when reloaded, and that a saved game is always automatically reloaded. I much prefer this patch, that gives you the choice to start any of a number of saved games, by just clicking a button, or create yet another character. But that is just a matter of taste, and I'm not making the decisions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
