True, it would, but as the image runs in the qemu simulator, it gives a 
terminal on vt1 on the host... Somehow qemu does not pass Ctrl+Alt+F1 to 
the guest OS, or the host OS snoops it away...

Secondly, if I were to be able to open the terminal on VT1, that would 
be a text terminal. Starting X with startx would complain that the X 
server is already running. Then killing that server, and starting it 
again with "startx" would bring me back into Sugar without the option to 
start an xterm...

Any further help is appreciated. I am particularly interested in knowing 
which file to edit so that sugar would start a terminal or any other X 
program.

Thanks,

Teus.
