  * next_action:  => never set
  * blocking:  => 3993, 6995


Comment:

 I've decided to break this work out from #6995, since it's a bit simpler
 than #6995 and it will make the #6995 patch simpler if I can get this one
 out of the way first.

 I'd like anyone interested to consider testing my patch on their joyride-
 stream XO by doing:

 {{{
 cd /home/olpc
 git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/users/mdengler/sugar xo-sugar-2866
 cd /usr/share/sugar/shell
 for dir in hardware model view ; do sudo mv $dir ${dir}.orig ; sudo ln -s
 /home/olpc/xo-sugar-2866/src/${dir} ; done
 }}}

 You should get results like this:

 Open issues:

 1) notifications show up as a black square.  There must be some flaw in my
 notification code:
 http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/mdengler/sugar;a=blob;f=src/view/devices/network/notifications.py;h=20f74754778176e20728a055ca129aa00f2b57c5;hb=a73a2a91b40f48214bd62324d7e203a79cebf53d#l50
 2) When one tries to join a mesh, the frame's mesh icon & palette are
 empty (mouse over the "empty" space just to the left of the speaker icon
 after clicking on a mesh icon in the Mesh/Neighborhood view to see what I
 mean).

 They should be easy but if I never get anyone testing this it'll keep
 taking forever.
