For now, the package sugar-0.84 provides the following ways for running 
Sugar:

   * sugar-emulator (for invoking from any Linux X11 desktop)
   * XDG-compliant sugar session (for selection from GDM)

I am working on splitting that package to provide above methods 
separately packaged (e.g. to not pull in Xephyr if only wanting GDM 
session)

So far I have almost only played with sugar-emulator (too lazy to quit 
my many xterminals) but I believe the GDM session should work equally 
well as through Xephyr (or, should I say, equally bad: as was in another 
recent thread, sugar segfaults for me currently...!)

Are you sure python-wnck is installed?  'Cause now that I double-check, 
I actually made an error in the most recent packaging to no longer dpend 
on it (thanks for bringing it to my attention!).


Kind regards,
