The default behavior is that it uses Xephyr
(http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Xephyr) so it runs on top of
GNOME (I haven't tested it with KDE but should work). It's quite handy
especially when just showing Sugar without having an XO unit because
you can actually load activities especially those installed in G1G1
units.

In Ubuntu Intrepid, xf86-video-geode is fully supported so its
actually possible to make any PC, a Sugar powered machine.
