Planet Penguin Racer problems

[Laura Bruce <laurabruce@tampabay.rr.com>]

I (David Bruce) am Laura's dad.  We are having trouble with 
PlanetPenguinRacer (the successor to TuxRacer).  Upon starting a course, 
the view perspective switches to looking back at the penguin instead of 
looking ahead from behind.  This makes it a little tricky to decide 
where to steer, to say the least.  Laura's computer is running Sid with 
kernel = 2.6.11, KDE = 3.3.2, kdelibs4_4%3a3.3.2-7_i386.deb, and 
planetpenguin-racer_0.3.1-2_i386.deb.

I know that a lot of things are broken in Sid due to the C++ transition, 
but if anyone knows of a reasonably simple fix to get PlanetPenguinRacer 
operating sanely, I will have a much happier seven year old, and also 
one who thinks more highly of "The Penguin System".

Thanks for any help
