I think the point is to make a "Sugar desktop" be an choice on a normal machine. Maybe one could select it at login, or switch to it via some control panel. It'd be like how people choose between KDE and GNOME. Sugar would be another choice. That would be nice. Another thought along those lines is to simply allow Sugar activities to run on the normal desktops. Depending on what is best for the particular activity, it comes up fullscreen (which may be 2560x1600) or in a 1200x900 window. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
