Comment(by bernie):

 Pointers to source code for developers unfamiliar with the Sugar codebase:

  * sugar-toolkit: sugar/graphics/animator.py: class
 Animator._next_frame_cb()

    This is where the animation frames are being computed. The actual
 animation happens by invoking user defined callbacks on each frame.

  * sugar: jarabe/view/launcher.py: class LaunchBox.__init__()

    This is where the animation is started. Try experimenting with
 different values of duration and fps to test my theory that the XO-1 is
 simply too slow to render the frames and does never enter the idle loop in
 which Gtk performs repaints.
