I don't know either. I'm glad is you and others take some
responsalilities on gcompris ;)
I would think that the one who has the bug assigned to must close it,
now on the other end, we could say only the QA close it. What's your
preference. We can decide quick, if we don't like the option we choose
we'll change it as quick.

The esc=quit option was taken out a long time ago. currently, esc let
you quit the current board or get up a level in the menu, but not quit.
The problem is with young kids. Parents/teachers expect to put their
kids in front of gcompris an leave. Since they won't be able to start
gcompris again, is is bothering if they quit too easy.
Also, little kids who get into a menu quit yes/no won't be able to
understand this.
I first looked at evolution and galeon and they use ctrl-Q to quit. We
could use this and document it in the inline help (ok, implemented).

OK, I coded that but found that when there is a refresh bug, it means
the internal status of the canvas is wrong and calling refresh doesn't
do it either. I keep this trick to see if it can help others.
