Deployments can either make sure their builds include the directory/folder, or the more technical users can create a $HOME/Documents themselves if they want one (or even mount something else there, I'd likely mount a VirtualBox shared host folder there for quick file exchange with my Mac).<br> ><br> >>> - can it easily be disabled in a build to keep the Sugar UI uncluttered (sounds like this might be a quick hack to help fix poorly ported GNOME applications like tuxpaint)?<br> >> I think it has more general utility in that there will always be<br> >> non-Sugarized activities.
