Oups. Very bad.

Fist, it seems to be the odd refresh issue. Use gcompris 3.2 which
solves most of these bugs.

Second, test, run gcompris from the command line with the option -w to
have it in a window (not fullscreen)
Then once started in a window, move the window out of the screen back
and forth to see the if the refresh happens.

Last you can click to where you remember the buttons are to see if
gcompris runs correctly and start display things.

Also, check gcompris traces, if there is something strange send it.

Bruno.
