Comment (by pulkomandy):
@taos: that may be a different issue: apps running from Terminal are
started in the correct directory, while when started from Tracker they are
run with /boot/home as the current directory. This is known to confuse
many SDL-based apps and other ports. Does our simutrans port already
include a patch for this (a typical way to patch this is adding
{{{chdir(dirname(argv[0]))}}} in the main function)?
