The problems with sugar starting should now be fixed when the next
build push it done. I've spent a number of hours this evening to
identify and test the problem and push out fixes to the package.

The issue is due to deprecated GTK symbols, bug reports are upstream
and need to be applied [1] [2].

Those that a chomping at the bit to test the fix can do so by running
"rpm -Uvh http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/sugar-artwork/0.88.0/2.fc13/i686/sugar-artwork-0.88.0-2.fc13.i686.rpm"
and you should have the sweetness of fixed Sugar once again....

Those not so adventurous can get it from a nightly build hopefully in
the next day or so as I've pushed the patched package straight to
stable.

Cheers,
Peter
