FWIW: this is an activity I picked up maintenance of from Pierre Métras, I can confirm it fails under Mirabelle, but not sure if it is F13 or Sugar 0.88 related yet. Need to investigate (it's not picking up widget.window, perhaps some 0.88 canvas change in Sugar I seem to remember being discussed).
