Comment:

 The Sugar crash in step 5 is worrying, but I cannot reproduce that crash
 in a recent SoaS beta running in Virtualbox, and in any case Sugar should
 not crash even if an activity was buggy. Assigning back to tomeu.

 I can confirm the apparent hang in step 4. But once I activate Etoys
 (wether by clicking resume or pressing alt-tab) it stops normally. The
 likely cause for that is that the window-close event is not processed
 while Etoys is deactivated (by the Sugar D-Bus activate() call). Only once
 Etoys is activated again, the event is received and then the saving and
 exit is performed. This should eventually be fixed but I'd not consider it
 critical, stopping an activity while it is inactive is not a too frequent
 operation. I filed an upstream report nonetheless:
