Comment:

 In joyride-2208 (ohm 0.1.1-6.15.20080707git.olpc3, rainbow 0.7.16-1.fc9,
 and olpc-utils 0.81-1.olpc3).  To test:

  * Open up the Terminal activity.
  * Type: "ls -a /var/tmp/olpc-auth".  You should see .Xauthority,
 .ICEauthority, and .Xserverauth files.
  * Type: "echo $XAUTHORITY $ICEAUTHORITY $XSERVERAUTH".  The locations of
 these files in /var/tmp should be reported.
  * Open up the Pippy activity.  Type in the following short program, and
 press "Go":
 {{{
 import os
 os.system('/bin/bash')
 }}}
  * At the resulting shell prompt, repeat the above echo command.  You
 should see locations for XAUTHORITY and friends which are in
 /home/olpc/isolation/<mumble>.
  * Type xdpyinfo.  You should get some output (ie, xdpyinfo should be able
 to use the XAUTHORITY setting to connect to the X server.)
  * Close pippy.
  * In the Terminal application, type: "cat /dev/urandom > /home/olpc
 /space-filler" This may take quite a while, but will eventually report "no
 space available".  Congratulations, your NAND is full!
  * Reboot.  X should start up and you should see the sugar home screen
 (beyond X startup, we've entered the territory of trac #7587).
