In recent builds, you need to explicitly tell the laptop to register with the
Jabber server. It uses the server named in ~olpc/.sugar/default/config.

If the laptop has registered with a Jabber server, the Presence Service
process on the laptop tries to connect to it periodically. If connection
fails, mesh collaboration is used instead.
