Bug Description

Fresh install of zsnes, running on plain ubuntu desktop.

Fails with the error (when run from console):

Creating link /home/tom/.kde/socket-vader.
can't create mcop directory

However, after running a kde app (in this case kmplot) i was then able to start zsnes ok. I did already have an existing .kde directory.

If you need more info, ill be glad to do what i can to provide it.

A specific workaround for zsnes is the argument -ad alsa.

Please correct this bug by using the attached .desktop here.

Because of the long long time to patch mcop ... and because this is better in ubuntu to use alsa by default .
