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.
