Aisleriot: Spider Three Decks - Different starting layout on 14.2 vs. -current, same source code.

This one is a bit of a head-scratcher. I am in the process of upgrading my mom from a Slackware64 14.2 Desktop to a Slackware64-current(15.0) laptop. Her main use case is solitaire, specifically aisleriot, and mainly Spider Three Decks (although the bank website does get visited occasionally). Using an stock build script from slackbuilds.org (via sbopkg), I am getting a strange difference in the result on 14.2 versus -current.

The package builds and runs fine on -current (hence not posting this in the "does-not-build-on-current" thread), and all of the other card games I have checked seem fine with no obvious issues. However, as per Murphy's Law, my mother's lifeblood: Spider Three Deck, has a weird layout bug in -current.

The starting layout in 14.2 seems like the classic layout I see referenced around the web. The starting layout in -current, however, has 4 cards already in the upper-right corner, and most of the area below that has no cards at all. I have checked on three -current machines, and the result is the same on all. The version of aisleriot is 3.22.9 in all cases. I am using ponce's git source for -current.

I also checked a flatpak versioned at 3.22.13 on -current, and I get the exact same result. I am guessing this is some library difference between 14.2 and -current.

Anyway, just thought I'd put this out there in case anyone else has seen it or can reproduce it. Possible fixes are also welcomed, but not expected necessarily.
