It's fixed in the CVS, it was not a bug specific to memory but could
happen anywhare. The end of board bonus is random and could include the
ambulance. It's no more the case, the ambulance must be explicitly
called by the board coder now.

Fixed. Why country code and language code do not match !!!
ca = catalan in language code
ca = canadian in country code
Now canadian flags is removed.

Fixed

Can't fix that. Way too complex to implements. The list is static and
sorted by language iso code.

> BTW: What is the meaning of the red plus sign at the flags?
It means this language is not supported by your GNU/Linux system.
If you run 
locale -a
it gives you the list of supported locale.
on mandrake you can add a locale using
urpmi locales-fr
If anybody can come up with a better icon, I take it.

On this, is anybody able to create a more generic "repeat" icon for us ?

We already have the redcross on the board icon. I agree that this icon
is not enought meaningfull. I am working on a better message in this
board like install the correct assetml-voice-alphabet package and enable
the sound

Well, it's the repeat. If you have the color voices, you may want to re
ear it.
