On-XO,

  rpm -qif `which olpc-session`

reports that olpc-session is owned by olpc-utils. You can track down the
sources for olpc-utils by reading the olpc-utils spec file out of Fedora
CVS, or by asking around, as you have done.

Nope. You'd want to run something like:

  koji latest-pkg dist-olpc2 olpc-utils

or, on a recent build,

  rpm -qi olpc-utils

(Also, if koji isn't available on your OS, then please consider
packaging it; it's very handy for investigating the Fedora build
system.)

As it happens, the olpc-utils source code is maintained at

  http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-utils

Let me know if you require any assistance with rainbow or olpc-utils.
