Comment:

 With revised initscripts (for #7586), olpc-utils (for revised olpc-dm),
 and rainbow patch mentioned above, sugar starts fine with Xauthority and
 ICEauthority moved to /var/tmp.

 *However*, ohm's xorg plugin is currently having issues, as the spec file
 we are using hard-codes OHM_DEVICE_XAUTH_DIR to /home/olpc (see
 http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/ohm;a=blob;f=plugins/glue/xorg/ohm-
 plugin-xorg.c;h=3bca47be8764531cba2bbd157d1e3bdc4defea41;hb=HEAD#l42 ).

 I can either make a compatibility symlink from /home/olpc to /var/tmp
 /.Xauthority-olpc, or else patch ohmd to set OHM_DEVICE_XAUTH_DIR to
 /var/tmp (and remove the $LOGNAME suffix from the filenames, or else set
 OHM_DEVICE_XAUTH_DIR to /var/tmp/olpc-auth and have olpc-dm create this
 directory if necessary... anyone have preferences?
