Comment(by ssb22):

 Another issue is switching between Wine apps and Sugar apps.  Any X11
 application (including Wine) can run on the XO; however, X11 applications
 that are not activities cannot be managed by Sugar, hence there is
 difficulty switching to them when multiple applications/activities are
 running.

 It would be nice if there were a quick way to "sugarize" any arbitrary X11
 application, at least to the point of being able to switch to/from it if
 nothing else.

 Meanwhile, a quick (though RAM-hungry) hack is to get Wine to emulate a
 desktop on a separate X server running on display 4, and to learn the
 keystrokes to switch between displays 3 and 4.
