Interesting: I have not experienced problems having both GNOME and Sugar 
on a Lenny system (I believe I did that several times in the past).

I believe not.  An obvious test is to purge the package again ;-)

See the related thread at the mailinglist, it looks like exact same 
problem I am having.

If so, you should be able to work around this issue by doing the 
following once:

 1) run "sugar-emulator sugar-session"
 2) Fill in a username
 3) skip the broken color selection
 4) kill Xephyr after above segfaults

After this, a regular "sugar-emulator" should work.

...but if you have similar problems as me, then now Chat will work, but 
Browse will not :-( - that's a different issue that I have not yet 
solved.
