 Booted my G1G1 (Joyride 2169 equiv., Q2D16) just long enough to use
 Terminal to copy a file.  Issued 'shutdown -r now' command.  The Sugar
 session ended [screen went to console text output left over from when
 Sugar was being started] -- then the XO just sat there.

 After 15 minutes, I pressed ctl-alt-F2.  Now the screen showed the ending
 picture (containing icons warning what not to do with the OLPC).  After a
 normal-duration wait the XO shut down (and restarted, as I had asked for).

 [I have on random occasions seen this same (shutdown seems to "hang")
 behavior with earlier Fedora9-based Joyrides, including when I used the
 Home View palette to initiate shutdown.]
