I was unsuccessful using Build 650.  I used the older version of gmail
and did get the browse and was able to select in the Journal.  I clicked
Ok or whatever it was there and the selection window closed and I was
back in gmail.  The file was not attached.  I tried this several times.
 I sent the email and picked it up on another computer.  Nothing was
attached which was not surprising since I saw nothing.

The file I was trying to attach was indeed in /home/olpc.  It is a file
that I moved from a usb drive to /home/olpc using the terminal and not
using the drag and drop in the journal.
