Not so bad. While we're discussing aesthetics, let's get rid of 
/gnubg/Textures/logo.bmp. Now that's one ugly gnu. (I'm assuming that's 
what/who it is.)  Then you can also shorten the code (in misc3d.c).

        /* Random logo */
        if (rand() % 2)
                SetTexture(bd3d, &bd3d->logoMat, TEXTURE_PATH"logo.bmp");
        else
                SetTexture(bd3d, &bd3d->logoMat, TEXTURE_PATH"logo2.bmp");

I was surprised to see that the two logos should appear equally often. Seems 
like I get the "ugly" one more than I should. (And gnubg cheats with the dice 
too!)

More seriously, how about a short delay at the end of the 3-d board-closing 
sequence, just to see the closed board. As it is now, the app quits instantly, 
which somehow lessens the effect of the splashy 3-d exit.

Also, the Edit icon/button on the toolbar still seems too small to me, but of 
course that's a very minor (and probably personal) issue.
