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
