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.
Aside from the UI, the OLPC would require Inkscape to be slimmed both in terms of memory and disk footprint (including space required by pre-requisite libraries), as I understand it.

Also, the other key thing is that sugar is done-up with python. The way abiword handles the writing activity is they implemented a full set of python bindings so that an entirely different and simple UI would just call up abiword...so one might call that abicore ;)
The OLPC ppl. keep ping me about this as a massive missing piece in OLPC...if anyone is interested...bang loudly on my door, er, email inbox...I have two olpcs (the last gen) that go to the two most serious coders with an Inkscape hacking history who can take a crack at Inkscape for olpc...
Then, if those people don't knock something out in a month, then I think we make a social contract to mail them to others who will do the same.
