Hello everybody,

Back again on the list after few monthes... or years... I'm teacher (3
to 5 y.o. pupils), unfortunately not a developper.

First thanks to Bruno and the team for this fine piece of software,
getting better and better with the years.

Just a few things for today :

1- The new button "VALID" to quit the GCompris info page causes trouble
to young kids because it appears only on mouse-over. They often call
this page by curiosity, and call me for help afterwards
"teeeeeeeeaaaaaaacheeeeer....." The older, "hard" version, seemed better
to me. How to quit the page should be an evidence even for young kids.

2- I miss too, the old country flags in the language configuration. Kids
always went there and clicked anywhere. Once the language is set to
Arabian i.e., it becomes very difficult to come back to default. Now I
launch GCompris always with the --disable-config flag. But I think most
of end-user don't know the start flags, and it should be easy to come
back to defaults in the config menu.

2- Feature request : I would enjoy a simple dominoes game, like this
one : http://www.zuzugames.com/play-7157-Dominoes.html
It would be very nice, and maybe not too difficult to write (I don't
speak for myself...) Easy levels could be with colors only, then
images, medium level, images and dots, high level, only dots. 

Hope these remarks useful, I apologize for my poor english.

Best regards,
