[Sugar-devel] New TuxPaint and GCompris wrapper activities

[Daniel Drake]

Hi,

The TuxPaint and GCompris activities on activities.sugarlabs.org don't
support ARM, and the solution taken by a few deployments is to add the
systemwide gcompris/tuxpaint packages (from Fedora) to the OS build
and use simple launcher activities from
http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/nicaragua/

Unfortunately these have a small problem in new versions of Sugar,
after you use the activity for more than 90 seconds and exit, Sugar
brings up a confusing error, "TuxPaint failed to launch" even though
no problems actually occurred.

There is some progress in fixing this in Sugar ("[PATCH sugar]
Fallback to _NET_WM_PID to map windows to activities"), for now I have
published some activity versions wihch work around the issue for
existing versions of Sugar:
