Hmm, two interesting things that I noticed:

1) I didn't have the Python bindings for librsvg, but Gcompris did not
complain when I compiled it.  Maybe we should add a check for this in
the configure?

2) After I installed those Python bindings, I managed to list the
activities available.  Then, I tried to run "./gcompris -l
ACTIVITY_NAME", and it worked fine.  I believe this is expected, but
it took me quite a while before I could find a way to start Gcompris.
Also, it's worth mentioning that I still didn't manage to start
Gcompris without specifying the activity.

Well, that's it.  Just my two cents.
