[sugar] Help regarding Sugar on Ubuntu

[Eben Eliason]

For what its worth (and I know this probably isn't easy, or we'd
already have support for it), what we really need for useful
testing/developing is a way to scale the output to the window as a
post-draw operation.  That is, render everything as though it were a
1200x900 screen, and scale to the window size (assuming 4:3).
sugar-emulator -x is quite nice, but it requires a large monitor to
use effectively.

Naturally, this is somewhat the opposite of what we want to happen
when running in fullscreen on screens of various resolutions, in which
the subcomponents within the UI should independently scale or not, as
appropriate.  There's a fair amount of work to be done there as well,
to make sizes and proportions appear correctly no matter the
resolution.  It would be great if we could find someone in the
community interested in attacking this type of cleanup throughout the
UI, since we're clearly biased towards the XO (and need to be based on
our resources).
