Well, when I say no more gnome, I don't mean no more gtk. That's another
issue. There is a link on gcompris for the fedora packages. did you
tried them ?

Thanks for your encouragement.

For java, I don't see the point. now that gcompris is cross-platform,
why yould java be needed. If I had to go this path, I would definitly go
the mono path since it includes the gnomecanvas that gcompris relies on
for its graphics.
