Comment(by mikus):

 Replying to [comment:13 mstone]:
 > This change does have one unintentional side-effect which is that the
 default Browse start page has a big empty column on its left side where
 the full table of contents was formerly displayed. Fortunately, the ToC is
 successfully filled in when new bundles are installed.

 To expand upon my problem:  It used to be that the user could, by clicking
 in the Browse left column, see information from installed .xol bundles.
 Now that column is empty -- and all the clickable links in the Browse
 center column have internet URLs.  Meaning that if Browse does not have
 internet access, WHAT IS BEING SHOWN (by default) to the user does *NOT*
 permit the user to "Browse" __anything__.  [What's left is for the user to
 manually type in the local-URL for the file she wishes to Browse.]

 --------

 In 762 I tried 'sugar-install-bundle so-and-so.xol' with various .xol
 bundles.  All my attempts failed with error messages claiming unacceptable
 bundle content.  [So much for "the TOC is filled in when new bundles are
 installed."]

 Not a situation I would recommend for kids to cope with.
