Platform Team/Sweets Distribution/Factory/Features

Users oriented

The following features are oriented to end users.

Sugar Network integration

By default, Sugar Shell looks the same as in pristine Glucose. To start using Sugar Network related improvements in the Shell UI, go to the Sweets Distribution component in the Control Panel, enable the integration checkbox, and restart Sugar. After restarting, the Sugar Network client will be available from the Activities tray and the F8 shortcut key.

Default configuration changes

The following changes were made in the default Sugar Shell configuration.

• Registration on school servers is disabled by default
  Sugar Shell support registration on OLPC XS school server. Sweets Distribution does not provide OLPS XS, and this functionality is disabled by default. To revert to the original behavior, set the /desktop/sugar/show_register GConf key to true.

• On initial start, Sugar Shell will ask for a user nickname. To revert to the original behavior (when Shell reuses the system user name), set the /desktop/sugar/user/default_nick GConf key to system.
