Comment (by marco):

 The server is not passing the right mime type for the .xo. Not
 sursprisingly since we don't even have a mime type for xo. So the browser
 will try to render it and for some reason I guess that cause X server
 crashes. I'll see if I can figure out why it's crashing.

 We don't really support downloading files which are not handled by the
 activities yet, nor it was planned for Trial-1. They will be downloaded in
 /tmp with the current implementation.

  If people think it's worth breaking the feature freeze for it we could
 figure out something next week (either a way to install xo from the UI or
 at least download all files in the home directory). In any case it will be
 necessary to fix the servers to provide the right mime type for the xo.
