A woman named CatMoran ~~created a~~ script that ~~automates most of~~ the ~~steps of Sugar Coating Linux applications~~ to ~~run under Sugar~~.

Many standard Linux programs can be run within Sugar, but without the collaboration and other Sugar integration programmed into them. The process of adding an icon to the Sugar Activities panel is called "Sugar Coating".

A simple script to automate the process was created by a woman named CatMoran. The script:

*has be confirmed to work with Firefox, Seamonkey, Midnight Commander, TuxType2, TuxPaint and Totem. It it presumed to work with many other Linux programs.

*only works with programs that use the same command every time (i.e., a single command with no qualifiers). It doesn't work for roto's current mplayer configuration, because the mplayer command requires an input file name to start the program.

*The process has be confirmed to work with Firefox, Seamonkey, Midnight Commander and Totem.It it presumed to work with many other Linux programs.

*It doesn't work for roto's current mplayer configuration, because only programs that use the same command every time (ie, no input file name, in this case) can be set up to run this way.
