Peter:

I just tried to boot the TC3 .iso It fails to load journal after name; 
color the f3 (home) appears. f3 (home) is not responsive for f1-f4 keys 
or mouse clicks for frame or list view and journal never colors up.

I have seen the same behavior in latest f19 nightlys and as a yum 
groupinstall sugar-desktop in gnome an ldxe installs to VirtualBox.
Sugar in f19  does not appear usable as it is.
