Emulator_Screen_Size_Adjustment] 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.
- 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 screen proportions, or something smaller, if needed on a netbook for example.
- sugar-emulator -i 600x500 fits the screen for a 10" Netbook
- Edit the command in a desktop icon's Properties to "sugar-emulator -i 600x500" and then it starts fine.[1]

yum install sugar-*
