It seems libshapegame has an unknown symbol at the moment:

gcompris: Failed to open module /usr/lib/gcompris/libshapegame.so with name 
shapegame (error=/usr/lib/gcompris/libshapegame.so: undefined symbol: 
gnome_canvas_polygon_get_type)

This is why paintings puzzle is not working. Looking further.

One thing I notice is that the plugins are scanned every time I go back to 
menu. So I'm getting error messages about missing python, and missing 
libshapegame.so often. Perhaps this scanning is making actions slow?
