This is ok for me in this case.

I also tested on Windows XP.

I fixed that one.

I don't get it. One improvement on windows is that now we have the same
cute cursors we have on GNU/Linux. In my test it works fine and I have a
hard time understanding your explanation.

Strange, it works for me. Can anybody else make this test ?

Can't reproduce, works fine here.

I fixed this.

Works fine here, even tested it between a GNU/Linux running GCompris.

Sure, but I am afraid by your feedback for the errors I can't reproduce.
