[Sugar-devel] Sugar App Launcher

[Tony Anderson]

Hi, Sebastian

Also not disagreeing. I am curious as to the limitation you see in the 
direct execution model and how what you are doing will improve on it. 
Gnome is the desktop we get with Sugar (13.2.8) but I suspect the 
command line (subprocess) technique would work with xfce and others.
