[ANN] SqM with 'double clickable FreeCell'

Hi PhiHo,

Brief question: What do I double click? If I start the executable it
prompts me for the image to use. Do I have to set up some specific
association with .st files and then double click the freecell.st file?

Anything else I'm missing?

Cheers,
  - Andreas
