[sugar] Starting jhbuild run/sugar-emulator against an abritrary X server

[Andrew Clunis]

Hi folks,

I'm in the process of writing a python script that will start up 4
instances of Sugar in UML instances on a virtual network (probably
TUN/TAP), right out of one's jhbuild tree.  The idea here is to make it
really easy to test the collaboration/sharing, etc. facilities of Sugar
and the activities without needing multiple computers. I was inspired by
Openswan's similar facility for testing.

However, is there a way to specify an arbitrary X11 DISPLAY environment
variable or some such to start Sugar on, rather than having the
emulation scripts pop open a Xephyr automatically?

I don't suppose I'm lucky today, or will I just have to hack it?

ps. I'm resending this because it looks like my mailserver ate it. I
apologise for any dupes.

Regards,
Andrew Clunis
