I noticed that the sugar-build script installs the framebuffer version of X11 so I assumed it was meant to start from a virtual terminal. That does work.
If it is running in a GNOME window but full screen how do you go about switching to another window? Would Alt-Tab do it? I remember that we wanted to get rid of Xephyr, and I've experienced problems with Sugar in Xephyr myself so I can see why, but I'm still kind of puzzled by this and I think MYOSA readers would be too.
