These days I'm running F11-on-XO1 on my XO-1s -- SarynPaint launches
and runs on both my smparrish build os6 and on my mtd build soasxo59.
It shows that "just checked in minimal support for launching it from
Sugar" - when I call up Frame, and (while SarynPaint is in Move
mode) navigate along the "screen edges" on which Frame shows its
facilities, what continues to respond is SarynPaint itself. For
"Sugar usability", an .xo ought to disregard user inputs directed to
Sugar. Also, the log created by SarynPaint would currently be
unhelpful in case of trying to debug the Activity's own actions.
Did not have my external speakers hooked up - the voices were kinda
faint. At the very beginning, the cursor had to be pre-positioned
on the SarynPaint screen, in order to avoid the explanation text
from vanishing before it could be read (in soasxo59 the explanation
text vanished despite me trying to prevent that).
On my systems, feedback to the user via voice is not always
consistent. Sometimes the control-press (e.g., <enter>) is not
picked up [silence indicates I need to repeat the mode change].
Other times the control-press does get picked up, but I hear no
output [silence indicates I don't need to repeat the mode change].
