[Sugar-devel] OLPC OS with gnome only.

[James Cameron]

Thanks for testing.

olpc-switch-desktop is why Sugar is still included; the Sugar packages
are usually selected by modules/sugar/kspkglist.50.sugar.inc, and
without the [sugar] module present in your .ini file the packages
should not be selected, but olpc-switch-desktop has a dependency on
Sugar, and the package is added by
modules/gnome/kspkglist.50.gnome.inc.  So you might remove it from
there.

To start GNOME by default instead of Sugar, you must arrange for your
build to write "gnome" to the file /home/olpc/.olpc-active-desktop and
as a result /usr/bin/olpc-session will start the gnome-session.
