What you are missing is the "Toolbox" which contains one or more  
"Toolbars":

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Sugar_Interface/Toolbars

The toolbox is implemented by the activity itself. Currently there  
exist two implementations that I am aware of, one is the Toolbox from  
sugar-toolkit for Python-based activities, the other is the  
SugarNavigatorBar for Squeak-based activities.

You will have to implement the toolbox yourself (unless you want to  
try embedding your application into a Python wrapper, which comes with  
its own problems).
