OK. Will you do it or will I? I haven't quite figured out yet what my
responsabilities exatly are in bugzilla, and don't want to step on your
feet ;-).

Just a proposition, if it's possible: mapping <ESC> key to quit gcompris
with a confirmation message? It's the most natural for the users, unless
it's already taken. Since the default for gcompris is to run in full
window mode, the first-time users who encouter this problem can be a bit
puzzled. At least my reflex was to ctrl-alt-F2 and pkill -9 gcompris the
first time.

It seems that from time to time there's a refresh problem of the bottom
menu after opening a navigator to view the gcompris documentation, too.
So implementing a refresh key would be a good idea, too.

OK, thanks for the clue. I'll do that before the end of the week. I'll
put a few new translations in it, too.

Excellent idea. Sorry I can't take that up, though.

Amicalement,

Rami
