{{Note/warning|NOTE:|The procedure outlined below will not work for recent versions of Sugar and Fedora. For example on F11 / S0.84 and newer activities sugarized this way crash X.org in some conditions with a BadWindow error. '''A workaround <!-- the solution is to fix X to not crash so easily, is this logged anywhere as a denial of service? -->''' is to obtain the source to libsugarize.c and build libsugarize.so from it -- see http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/albert/sugarize/ . Also recommended: the shell version of 'sugarize', at http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-January/009387.html}}
