Things has changed quite a bit recently. It was pretty easy to get it
to work on Fedora 17. Hopefully Ubuntu will package dogtail 0.8.0 at
some point too.

These days I think all you need is GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge in the
environement, both for dogtail and the applications. No X restarting.

sniff (part of dogtail) works from inside a sugar terminal, assuming
GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge.
