 From discussions on the devel mailing list...

 We should be working toward making Sugar work nicely under XDM/KDM/GDM
 style session managers so that it is easy for distributions to include a
 Sugar environment for children.  This is particularly of interest on e.g.
 the EEEpc and on Thin Client solutions such as Canonical sells.

 Bernardo Innocenti mentions in the thread:

 """I hear on #olpc that Dennis Gilmore is going to make Sugar a
 desktop option for Fedora along with KDE and Gnome.

 Joel Stanley said that Sugar is already available for Ubuntu too,
 but I didn't have a chance to try it out yet."""

 In other words, work is ongoing.  This ticket is simply to make sure that
 we don't lose track of the goal; making getting Sugar, access and Content
 as easy as possible.  Once we have Sugar available on most distributions
 and ready to be used as a desktop option there, the actual work of adding
 it to the distributions' desktop option set should be comparatively
 trivial.
