Well, I was using '--excludedocs' and '--instLangs en_US' here. At least 
the latter one drops stuff from other locales in /usr/share if I recall 
correctly. From my experience, it can empty up to 120 MB of space, 
depending on the package selection.

290 MB was my most recent build, by the way. I added the kickstart I was 
using to the GIT repo.

And there're more things to be kicked out ;) - as you mentioned, the 
backgrounds, some more printing stuff (even though I agree that if Sugar 
should get printing support, we'd need to add it again),...

I'm right now doing another build, hoping to get a smaller image.
