[Sugar-devel] Run Sugar activity

[Jui Pradhan]

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply. Regarding the icons stuck in the journal, back
then I didn't know what exactly to look for in the logs so I kept it for
later. I remember the icons getting stuck over the journal by just dragging
them over other icons. Infact, just to make the two videos, I reproduced it
more than thrice. However, now that I tried, I could not reproduce the
state. Replying, just so you may close the thread.

Thanks

Regards,
Jui Pradhan
