[sugar] Secrete hidden Home view styles

I was hoping the extra view types would have made it into the new  
release, but looks like some official decision to hide them has been  
made. Pitty. I just tested with 50 activities I've been testing, set  
as favourites, and the only 2 views that are usable are  
SUNFLOWER_LAYOUT and the less pretty but still usable RANDOM_LAYOUT.  
In both these views you get icons at full size.
RING_LAYOUT, BOX_LAYOUT and TRIANGLE_LAYOUT all seem to have suffered  
some recent huge allergic reaction to the previous complaint that,  
with many icons, they overlapped a little. Icons are now so small and  
far apart that each seems it could be at least +50% or more in size  
and still not touch each other. Oh well. Swings and roundabouts.
SUNFLOWER_LAYOUT just made it as my fav hack, pity the children of the  
world.
