Attached is a written in half an hour python script, which runs most
of the activities installed in my system (not the jhbuild ones - but
the ones installed via yum groupinstall sugar-desktop)
It has probably got the highest possible number of bug per line, and
does no error checking of each kind, but it's a start. I don't know
when I'll be able to put more effort into this - but if anyone else is
interested, please feel free to go ahead.
Run it in the form of
run_activities_in_desktop.py Jukebox /home/sayamindu/abc.ogg
(note that Jukebox is case sensitive)
There is no way to view the neighbourhood, and there is no way to see
the journal, and for all I know, the journal service does not run in
the background as well - so objectchooser won't work.
Thanks,
Sayamindu
