I am afraid to touch this code. I had some trouble to write it and one
french guy named Yann dirson. He also does the debian packaging for
gcompris.
Anyway, I'll check new_x can't be 0

Sory for that.
On my side, I just submitted the trace of the frequent crash that occurs
in gcompris, especially when you change board.
I found that it crashes in gdk-pixbuf.
I changed to gtk-pixbuf from imlib at some point in the development. It
could be that it is also when instability came.
