Well for very young kids it would be easy to get into, for instance 'node-editing' mode accidentally, and not be able to understand what's going on.
Maybe as toolbar and menu customization are improved, 'kidscape' could just be a simpler set of default menus and tools. This would have the benefit that no separate application must be maintained, and advanced features can easily be enabled in as kids are ready for/interested in them... (Felipe you can show your kids how to customize the menus themselves ;) )
Yeah, I like that idea...

I also think the lite toolbar and menu system is the way to go - this would be great to fit in with the OLPC project - maybe a simple way for OLPC users to install - does sugar use a yum respository ? If so we could add a special package with the "lite" configuration. Inkscapers with kids are probably the best source to see which menu/toolbar configurations work the best.
