libsugarize was a good hack to satisfy the requirements of Sugar's non-standard handshake protocol without touching the application. However, it lies to Sugar about several things and introduces needless complexity. All Linux desktops use a standard startup notification protocol that works with any application: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/startup-notification/ There's a library implementing this protocol which is already used by Gnome and KDE. I was hoping to get this done for F11-0.88, but there were too many other higher-priority things to do. Maybe we're still in time for 0.90. Before someone asks the standard rhetoric question [*]: following standards will make it easier to sugarize educational activities and improve the integration of existing non-native activities.
