U904 stopped working. Black screen on Xephyr. Going to try
DISPLAY=:0 ./sugar-jhbuild run
Didn't work because I had gtk-recordmydesktop running at the same time. I started Sugar and then started GTK RMD with no problems.

older and may be deprecated
Jaunty (9.04) has a broken D-Bus security configuration that prevents sugar-emulator from working (because Xephyr cannot work). On both versions sugar-emulator doesn't work properly if the X server uses evdev as keyboard driver (because of a Xephyr bug).
To get sugar to work type at the terminal
DISPLAY=:0 ./sugar-jhbuild run
