Thanks for having done it so fast.

Sadly, we use SVG but these are rendered at our native screen size
(800x520) and then rescaled at pixmap level if needed. This is not
optimal and I hope to have a better implementation one day. At least,
since there is now anti-aliasing support, it's way better than before.

This is a know issue when Compiz is activated. I would appreciate if you
can report it to the people behind compiz.

Hum, are you talking about the tangram:
http://gcompris.net/en-tangram

In the help of each activity at the top there is their formal name with
the form: /puzzle/tangram

Could you please run 'gcompris -D > trace.txt' and reproduce the
problem. A screenshot may help as well.

Thanks,
