What is the sleeping face? Is the face that is shown when you leave the computer for a while?

It was a pygame power saving feature when the game is left idle for a short while, not sure if it is still a valid case. Certainly the design is out of style with Sugar. Ideally Maze would pause it's pygame run loop invisibly when not needed, no user feedback necessary (need to test pause behaviour during a shared game).

Replying to humitos:

Yes. No other activity has an idle indicator.

Yes. It's a power saving feature but I'm not sure if on the XO is necessary, because the XO has its own power saving feature.

i like the cute addition of having an idle indication, though I don't know if its practical, I don't see a real issue in having it, at least it has conflicts with XO's power management.

If it has something to do with the power saving system (I mean, it do work), maybe we should change the image (because it's out of style and has nothing to do with the rest) instead of removing it.

+1 to changing the image. if someone has a sketch or suggestion is welcomed.
