Bug Description
Binary package hint: gcompris
Kubuntu, Feisty, fresh install, with 3-head screen.
When staring gcompris, it canibalizes the left screen. I can not move the mouse outside gcompris.
With alt-tab I can activate the other applications that run in the middle and right screen.
When starting tux-paint, gcompris hangs (maybe tuxpaint is not installed ?) and there is no way to get out of it.
Alt-ctrl-esc doesn't work since the mouse is *inside* gcompris.
I needed to kill -9 `pidof gcomrpis`
After this, my left screens is now bigger then it's physical size - let's say the resolution is 1024x768 but the viewport is 800x600. So my left screen scrolls around when I mouse to the edges.
Cheers

To post a comment you must log in.
This bug is partly a dupe of 97611 (the tuxpaint bug).
The rest (messed up screen) is still valid.
However, I discovered that gcompris can be run with -w, and then it runs in a window.
By default, it runs full screen. This effects Edubuntu Feisty and Kubuntu Feisty. In both cases the sreens' resolution is set to 800x600, and after Gcompris exits, the resolution is (for example) 1024 x 768 but the viewport is 800x600, which means that you need to scroll around the screen to do stuff.
