Sugar will run in a Xephyr window within your current environment. You will have full access to the Sugar features, and may even run multiple instances to simulate a local collaboration group. Later versions of Sugar require one emulator per logged in user (there can be more than one user running) Check this
- Adjust the default window size for Sugar by editing the menu item for Sugar to
/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 1200x900- to match the XO reflective screen resolution
/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 832x624- approximates the display proportions of the XO laptops, closely matching the toolbar, for example.
/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 600x500- fits the screen for a 10-inch netbook
/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -f- full screen on netbook
