Yes, that's quite possible.  My opinion was distorted by not having
access to a build on XO hardware.  Once I got Michael Stone's 0.88
experimental [1] running on an XO-1.5 over the top of our current
builds my opinion was better informed.

A brief test of XO-1.5 os121 (Fedora 11) with Sugar 0.88 [1].

Activity start and use test passed: Pippy, Browse, Turtle Blocks, Log,
Jukebox, Chat, Write, Image Viewer, SocialCalcActivity, Terminal, Maze,
Get Books, Read, Memorize, Finance, Etoys, Calculate, TamTamMini,
Implode, Physics, Scratch, TamTamSynthLab, Help, Moon, Paint, Colors!,
Stopwatch, Words, Measure, Labyrinth, Typing Turtle, TamTamJam,

Fail to start: WikipediaEN (a stack trace, WikipediaActivityEN object has
no attribute _browser), Speak (a 0sugar problem, 0sugar-selector).

Test failures: Record (bad layout), TamTamEdit (needed a keystroke after
toolbar stop button before it would quit), F4 key unresponsive.

Perhaps you'll have more fun with the distro swing.
