I'd argue that this isn't a bug, but a question.

This can be done by truncating the files located in /var/games.
These files are only writable by root and the games group.

You can reset the highscore in Mahjongg by running the following two
commands in a terminal:

sudo su
for a in `ls /var/games/mahjongg.*`; do cat /dev/null > $a; done

The reason why this is done the way it is, is to make it possible for
users to share the highscore-table without making it obviously easy to
cheat. Implementing what you ask from within a game is most likely never
to happen, since that would break this feature.
