I believe the problem occurs because of binary incompatibility between
Fedora 9 and Fedora 11.  Watch Me is self-contained on Fedora 9 systems
like OLPC-8.2, but on other distributions it is not self-contained, and
may require the installation of additional dependencies.  In the case of
Strawberry, it appears that you need to do

yum install gtk-vnc-python

because Watch Me's built-in version of gtk-vnc-python no longer functions
on Fedora 11.

I apologize for the inconvenience.  I hope that Sugar's handling of binary
executables in activities will improve in future versions.
