Comment(by hhardy):

 Replying to [ticket:6483 wad]:

 I noted a similar behaviour at the OLPC Boston gathering last night.
 Sharing between my 702 build and their (probably) 656 builds failed when
 trying to use the measure activity. You could see the doc and try to share
 but the button for measure never un-greyed-out. Simple mesh, was also
 connected to COSI wifi. Same behaviour whether they or I initiated the
 activity. They could measure amongst themselves ok.

 > On builds 656, 691 and 693, on production laptops (but with suspend
 inhibited), sharing of documents using the Read activity doesn't work.
 >
 > This has been verified to fail in both the simple mesh and AP network
 modes, using both invites and joins as the method of sharing.
 >
 > Documents downloaded to the laptop as well as documents on a USB stick
 were tested.  All failed.
 >
 > The method of failure is that the invitation (or shared document)
 appears fine on the other laptops.  When selected, the Read activity is
 launched OK, but it never receives the document being shared.  It just
 sits there with a blank screen.
