Sandbox is the working directory for etoys projects. If the  
restricted mode was entered (typically before executing foreign  
code), the Squeak virtual machine restricts file access to this  
directory.

I'll have to think about that ... it should be larger than tmp/, must  
be writable, preserved for each instance, and possibly shared between  
all instances.

I simply added support for SUGAR_ACTIVITY_ROOT before I knew that I'm  
only supposed to use only specific subdirectories of it.

I'll change it in the next version, but please open a ticket anyway ...
