[Sugar-devel] Run Sugar activity

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Actually I got the activity running on my sugar desktop. In my previous
mail I had attached a video which might be a possible bug, could you please
tell me what might have caused it?

Regards,
Jui Pradhan
