 In the terminal activity in builds 757 and 760, clicking 'become root' and
 then trying 'olpc-update' fails.

 The reason that it fails is the account used by 'become root' does not
 contain :/usr/sbin/: in its path, where olpc-update lives.

 Either the path needs to be fixed, or the documentation changed.  The sane
 behavior for the activity is to include /usr/sbin/ in the path
