Comment(by thomaswamm):

 Firefox-6 in build 8.2-759 similarly fails to launch immediately after
 boot, unless I move the cursor a bit more. Probably same root cause.

 I read somewhere that LAN and/or WLAN needs random bytes too, for various
 chores. Maybe WLAN is draining the XO entropy pool?

 I read somewhere that the entropy pool should be saved across powerdowns,
 so there is more randomness available immediately upon power-up. This is
 more important for diskless devices (such as XO). Normal Linux systems get
 randomness from hard drives.

 Looks like I will be testing 8.2-760 soon.
