You'll love Python once you get the hang of it. ;-) > On the sugar desktop side, first experiments show that putting a > start job into the background, with sugar-launch, works. Good. I wasn't sure if the environment variables the shell gives to an activity would turn out to be critical. Perhaps they are only needed for the starting animation and Frame and Alt-Tab. Do add a limited retry.
