 Using a stock 703 image and a customization key
 [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Customization_key].  Scratch v4 is included in
 the customization key, and is successfully installed.  Attempting to save
 projects in Scratch fails because Scratch's project directory
 (/home/olpc/Activities/Scratch.activity/Projects) is not world-writable,
 and Scratch runs under Rainbow as an unprivileged user.  The issue can be
 resolved by setting the Projects directory to world-writable.  It can also
 be resolved by reinstalling Scratch from its bundle downloaded via Browse.

 The most likely culprit is the following stanza in olpc-configure (from
 olpc-utils): [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/olpc-utils;a=blob;f
 =olpc-
 configure;h=0d6ef55ed49635672d63ae79831bff2a2eea4143;hb=db05cda6b8f36fe833bfa8a201d2b5467afbbd94#l138]
