Version 1.0.1 of flashcards, now on CTAN, works fine with the actual 
geometry package. Yet

%\TeXXeTstate=1
\documentclass[avery5371,frame,grid]{flashcards}
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage{german}
\setotherlanguage{arabic}
\begin{document}
\begin{flashcard}{texttexttext}
texttexttext
\end{flashcard}
\end{document}

still doesn't put texttexttext in the center of the resulting cards, as 
it does when the line "\setotherlanguage{arabic}" is removed.
