Comment:

 This pressure transfer sounds great, however I'm under the impression that
 our trackpad doesn't give any kind of pressure feedback.  Nonetheless, I
 feel that this is much more a problem with the trackpad and the software
 used to interpret its data than a problem with the interface design
 itself.  The buttons in Sugar are already much larger than buttons within
 other standard interfaces, and so we need better precision if we want to
 have any kind of reasonable usability.

 I'm changing the component back to sugar to reflect this.  I don't mean to
 imply that the UI can't adapt at all, but I do think that the UI already
 tries to accommodate this to a fair extent, and so there is no reason to
 do a UI overhaul until all other possibilities have been explored at a
 lower level.  If someone wants, this could be reassigned to a lower
 component such as X or even hardware.
