 sugar-jhbuild:
 i downloaded wikibrowse(wikipedia-10.xo) from the activities wikipage with
 browse. after the download had finished sugar hung up. when launching
 sugar again i couldn't open the journal anymore (if i did i saw a grey
 screen and sugar hung up).

 shell output:
 {{{

 i could fix my journal by downloading another activity (i chose
 analyze.xo). after the download i clicked -> "show in journal" -> "back".
 this was the first time i could see my "normal" journal again (wikibrowse
 could be seen there). but sugar hung up. after relaunching it my journal
 worked fine again and wikibrowse was gone.

 well, i think there is more than one issue in my scenario.


 1. installing wikibrowse doesn't work
 or maybe the unpacking (which is in background, isn't it?) lasts so long
 because this .xo is quite large and during this unpacking the os doesn't
 respond? and i was just not patient enough? [[BR]]
 2. this faulty situation (killing sugar while .xo is unpacking) seems to
 corrupt sugar
 which in my opinion is the greater problem.
