Reached a bit closer now, reading the scripts closely and using 
"sugar-emulator x-terminal-emulator":

  1) sugar-session starts Xephyr and sugar

  2) sugar starts matchbox and sugar-session

  3) sugar-session complains about missing root window and segfaults

Adding flags around line 135 of sugar-session like this:

def main():                            
     cleanup_logs()                     
     print "before log"
     logger.start('shell')
     print "after log"

     intro.check_profile()

Gives the following on stdout when sugar-emulator is invoked from a 
terminal:

1247572112.4330659 STARTUP: Starting the shell
matchbox: keyboard does not appear to have a <alt> key.
matchbox: ignoring key shortcut <Alt>return=fullscreen

before log
Lagersegmentfejl (core dumped)


Commenting out logger.start() just causes segfault later...


Suggestions?
