Summary: problem with nested installation folders

Initial Comment:
My problem is that whenever I start the uncompressed full version of FOTAQ (from the gui or by `/usr/bin/scummvm queen`) the compressed demo starts instead.

I set up my scumm "repository" at /usr/share/games/scumm/.

I have the uncompressed version of FOTAQ (target: "queen") installed thus:
/usr/share/games/scumm/queen/queen.1
/usr/share/games/scumm/queen/queen.tbl

I also have the compressed demo version (target: "queen-demo") installed thus:
/usr/share/games/scumm/queen/_demo/queen.1c
/usr/share/games/scumm/queen/_demo/queen.tbl

When I add the full-version game folder through the gui, it detects it just fine (I forget at the moment exactly what the description tag looks like, but it does NOT say 'Demo'). The same hold true for adding the _demo/ folder; it tells me it detects the demo version.

I tried renaming the _demo folder to .demo then updating ~/.scummvmrc and that worked just fine, but I can't browse to it in the gui. From what I can tell it's searching the install dir recursively for an operable queen.1c (which it finds at _demo/queen.1c) THEN, failing that, searching recursively for queen.1.

Renaming queen.1 to queen.1c doesn't work, but I wouldn't expect it to.

I'm running Scummvm recently (two days ago) compiled from svn revision 25919, give or take.
