Comment(by Quozl):

 Retesting olpc-netutils scripts that Mikus mentioned above, on 802 and
 os39, shows a regression in os39 in that several scripts do not work in a
 text console as user root.

 Mikus' output shows a different shell prompt, suggesting other
 customisation may have been done.  PATH is not properly set in his run of
 olpc-connections.  DISPLAY is not properly set in his run of sugar-xos,
 olpc-xos and olpc-netstatus.  I don't think I need to uncover the exact
 differences; it is clear that the environment differs.

 My test results:

 ||'''method'''||'''build 802'''||'''build os39'''||
 ||as user olpc in Terminal activity||works||works||
 ||as user root in Terminal activity||works||works||
 ||as user olpc in text console||works||fails, X11 related error||
 ||as user olpc in text console with DISPLAY defined||works||works||
 ||as user root in text console||works||fails, X11 related error||
 ||as user root in text console with DISPLAY defined||works||fails, DBus
 related error||

 Some further diagnosis without adequate knowledge follows:

 The environment variables in the root shell on the text console were
 compared; the only differences were:

  * INPUTRC is present on 802 and absent on os39,
  * SSH_ASKPASS is absent on 802 and present on os39.

 The HOME directory of the root shells were compared:

  * os39 has /root/.dbus, 802 does not.

 The /etc/dbus-1 directories and process lists were compared:

  * 802 has a session-olpc.conf but os39 does not.
  * 802 has a dbus-daemon using the session-olpc.conf but os39 does not.

 Some of these differences are probably irrelevant, perhaps DBus has
 changed.
