ROCK! Is there already a new bundle on ASLO?

       com.socialtext.SocialCalcActivity,

 This one has startup problems (since Sugar 0.84) due to a hard-coded
 timeout to synchronize the Python part with the JavaScript part. There
 are also bugs in charts. OLPC dropped it from their builds.


       org.worldwideworkshop.PollBuilder,
       org.worldwideworkshop.olpc.JigsawPuzzle,
       org.worldwideworkshop.olpc.SliderPuzzle,

 These are simply untested on 0.88. They might work out of the box. Do we
 want PollBuilder in the default installation of F11-0.88?


        org.laptop.AcousticMeasure (aka Distance)

 It is said to work badly on the XO-1.5. But did it ever work well? While
 we cannot expect the method used by Distance to yield very accurate
 results, but in the past I've always seen pseudo-random numbers even
 with the X-1.


       tv.alterna.Clock

 This one does not make much sense until we set the time from ntp (no
 need to test it)

[Sugar-devel] Some activities to fix (or check) for F11-0.88

Is there a ticket for this? I had not seen this problem. (It has been
suggested that the rule fill the screen, but that is not a scaling
issue. Also, we have no reliable way of determining display resolution
on non-XO hardware, so there is a spinner to let the user set DPI in
such cases.

FWIW: this is an activity I picked up maintenance of from Pierre Métras, I can 
confirm it fails under Mirabelle, but not sure if it is F13 or Sugar 0.88 
related yet. Need to investigate (it's not picking up widget.window, perhaps 
some 0.88 canvas change in Sugar I seem to remember being discussed).
