Comment(by greenfeld):

 I presume that those in favor of not using two separate users are planning
 for a future where GNOME and Sugar can share items to an extent with a
 single user.  Teachers in some deployments supposedly are taught to use
 USB sticks, which bypasses this entire issue.

 A two-user approach might also factor into those deployments that are
 trying to have multiple users use one laptop.  (Perhaps Sugar eventually
 will have a login manager.)

 [[BR]]
 In any case, we could divide this into long-term and short-term fixes,
 although changing the two-user fix into a one-user approach could be a bit
 of a pain.

 A quick kludge with two users to allow sharing between Sugar and Gnome
 could be to add a new icon for an external mounted "drive" which really
 was a setgid dropbox directory.   GNOME could then point to that with a
 folder shortcut.
