Perhaps you would care to look at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Toolbars#11

A glance through the Designs section of the wiki will answer your question
about why there isn't a bigger push for usability testing: because Sugar
isn't anywhere close to implementing its design.  Personally, I expect
that usability testing will serve almost exclusively to tell us what we
already know is wrong with the current implementation.  Once the new
designs are implemented, then it will be a good time to test usability to
search for further improvements.
