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]
