--localstatedir=/var/lib: This switch puts ScrollKeeper files in /var/lib/scrollkeeper instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper. --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome: This switch puts configuration files in /etc/gnome instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc. --disable-setgid: This will not prevent the setgid bit on the executables from being set. Though it also means that the functionality to save high game scores will be disabled.
