Okay. So I tried moving the "Change Game Type..." action to the Game
menu, but it seemed awkward and/or hard to find no matter where I put
it. I then got to thinking that maybe "Change Game Type..." wasn't the
best name for the action, because really, it's just an alternate form
of "New". So that lead me to the attached patch. (For those too lazy
to try the patch, see [1] and [2].)

I think I've been looking at this for too long, as I'm no longer
certain this even makes sense. What are people's thoughts? Does anyone
have any better suggestions? Would this idea work better with
different labels?

Thanks,

Parker
