Comment(by marco):

 To get Simcity running "natively" in the Shell you would need to:

 * Drop simcityactivity.py.
 * Move the Simcity executable inside bin/
 * Make sure  the Simcity executable "handles" the command line options
 described on the wiki page (you can just ignore them until you start
 integrating with the journal and the mesh).
 * Instead of specifying the python class in activity.info, add something
 like "exec = SimCity"

 The activity should be running fine at this point but Sugar will not be
 able to properly identify it. The main visible consequence is that you
 will get a grey circle icon instead of the activity icon included in the
 bundle. (I want to add _WM_ICON support but it would only solve part of
 the problem anyway, icons in the donut are colored depending on the color
 of the XO which started them).

 To get the right icon you will need to set the _SUGAR_BUNDLE_ID property
 (see wiki).
