I was able to make the sugar packages work by adding a gconf setting:</p><pre style="padding-top: 1em; padding-right: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 1em; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: dashed; border-right-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-left-style: dashed; border-top-color: rgb(47, 111, 171); border-right-color: rgb(47, 111, 171); border-bottom-color: rgb(47, 111, 171); border-left-color: rgb(47, 111, 171); color: black; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); line-height: 1.1em; ">
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/sugar/desktop/favorites_layout -t string ring-layout
</pre><p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">I think this will be fixed by adding the right gconf schema to the package, and hopefully will be fixed in version 0.84.</p>

I used <code style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); ">sugar-emulator --dpi=200</code>. Logging in to a Sugar session from <code style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); ">gdm</code> worked too.</p>
