Concerning GCompris, we have been aware of it's usage with adults. This
is a problem that the theme is too kiddy. Adults who needs GCompris
activities don't really appreciate being treated as children :/

To solve it a little bit, we worked on a black skin that looks more
adult. This is not yet released, I need more work to integrate it.
