Comment:

 As I wrote above in [comment:4 cscott], this bug was most likely caused by
 the VIP build install procedure, which definitely screwed with
 /home/olpc/Activities (a) as root, and (b) with /media/VIPINSTALL mounted
 so that all the files had 700 permissions.  I don't have the script in
 front of me at the moment, but it did a cp -a, which would be sufficient
 to create this behavior.

 The root source for the regression was either that (a) USB keys didn't use
 to have 700 permissions when mounted, but started to at some point, or (b)
 the VIP install procedure was run by Walter as user olpc in the dev
 console, but started being run as root in vt 1 after an RPM install was
 added to the procedure.  I don't know which of these for sure was the
 trigger, and I am not *certain* that the VIP bits were installed on jg's
 laptop, but this seems the most reasonable explanation.

 Closing the bug.
