[Sugar-devel] sugar-jhbuild--Sugar does not start

[Edward Cherlin]

So I switched to sugarlabs for git, and I put aside Walter's greatly
out-of-date xsession instructions, and I started fresh. Sugar-jhbuild
downloads, checks out, and compiles with no evident issues. But
whether I run

./sugar-jhbuild run

or

./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator

I get

The X basket weave background appears, with a cursor, and then nothing
else. I have to use Alt-F4 to quit.
